4	''All These Worlds'' by Dennis E. Taylor, published in 2017, is the third book in the Literature/{{Bobiverse}} series (preceded by ''Literature/WeAreLegionWeAreBob'' and ''Literature/ForWeAreMany'' and followed by ''Literature/HeavensRiver'').
5
6	The Bobs have successfully established human colonies on multiple worlds, but the threat to humanity isn't over yet. After the Battle of Delta Pavoris, the Others have finally recognized the Bobs (and by extension, humanity) as a threat – and now, Earth is on the top of their “To Consume” list.
7
8	Vastly outnumbered and outgunned, the Bobs must rally to take a last stand at Earth, but the Others aren't their only problem. Political unrest, distrust between the Bobs and the “ephemeral” humans, and an unknown quantity of Medeiros probes still threaten to destroy fragile peace on humanity's colony worlds.

10	!!This book contains examples of:
11
12	* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Legal status notwithstanding, the Bobs are treated by their descendants as a valuable part of the family and as minor celebrities or valued co-workers by everyone else.
13	* ApocalypseHow: Class X-2. [[spoiler:Bill uses his asteroid movers to fling Epsilon Eridani I and one of Epsilon Eridani III's moons at the GL-877 system. Two new Bob clones, [[MeaningfulName Daedalus and Icarus]], guide these planetoids to [[StarKilling collide at light speed in the middle of GL-877's star, sparking an accelerated fusion process and causing the star to go nova]].]]
14	* TheArk: The ''Bellerophon'', [[spoiler: a derelict Others cargo vessel with some asteroid mover plates slapped onto it and enough space to hold Earth's remaining 14 million humans and change.]]
15	* CasualDangerDialogue: Played with. One of the Bobs, [[spoiler:Marcus]], annoys his human allies with his mid-battle commentary [[spoiler:as they defend a city on Poseidon]].
16	* FinalSolution: [[spoiler: The Bobs invoke this by name when discussing the Others, and follow through by making the Others' sun go nova.]]
17	* HiddenArmyReveal: The Bobs try to invoke this trope with the Joker group during the Battle of Sol. The strategy was to sneak a battle group into the Others' blind spot after they performed their large area scan. [[spoiler:The Others manage to follow up their first scan with a second one quickly, blowing the surprise.]]
18	* HomeworldEvacuation: The degradation of Earth's biosphere (and the impending threat of the Others' fleet) makes it necessary to accelerate the rate of migration.
19	* InterstellarWeapon: [[spoiler:Bill uses his asteroid movers to chuck a couple of planetoids at GL-877.]]
20	* LaResistance: Marcus joins a resistance movement against the governing council of Poseidon. His solution? [[StartMyOwn Build the flying cities that the council wouldn't and invite the disgruntled residents of Poseidon to move in.]]
21	* MayflyDecemberRomance: The relationship between Howard and Bridget. [[spoiler: Gets upgraded to EternalLove when Bridget accepts Howard's offer to become a replicant like him.]]
22	* MetalPoorPlanet: Recolonizing the Pav homeworld after the Others finish strip-mining the Delta Pavoris system is impractical because the Others were so thorough that it would be practically impossible to find enough metal to make a handful of coins, much less restore an industrialized society.
23	* MileLongShip: The Others' cargo vessels are 10 km long and 1 km in diameter. Their interiors are large enough to house large cities and have room to spare.
24	* TheMonolith: Bob leaves one on one of the moons of Delta Eridani 4 as a landmark for the Deltans to discover once their society advances far enough.
25	* PoorCommunicationKills: Averted; [[spoiler:Herschel and Neil try to activate the derelict Others ship before notifying the other Bobs because they want all the credit for the find. Luckily, they don't destroy themselves before passing along their find.]]
26	* ResurrectedRomance: [[spoiler:Once Bridget is replicated, she and Howard continue their relationship as immortal space probes.]]
27	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Bridget's daughter Rosie makes a strong push against her relationship with Howard because of his replicant nature.
