Todos estos mundos [All These Worlds]

I’ll admit, I approached *Todos estos mundos* skeptical that it could top the first book’s charm—but Taylor pulls it off by leaning into the moral messiness of his premise. The Bobs, now a fractured collective of clones with diverging ethics, are no longer just plucky underdogs; they’re a colonial force grappling with the fallout of their own hubris. The story’s strength lies in how it weaponizes humor against its darker themes: one minute you’re laughing at a Bob’s snarky internal monologue about alien bureaucracy, the next you’re confronted with the body count of his ‘benevolent’ interference. It’s a tonal high-wire act, and Taylor sticks the landing more often than not. Raluy’s narration is the audiobook’s secret weapon. His voice for Bob is weary but wry, like a professor who’s seen too much and still can’t resist a sarcastic jab. The Spanish translation preserves the original’s geeky cadence—no small feat—though I’ll dock half a point for a few moments where the tech jargon feels *slightly* rushed, as if Raluy’s racing to get back to the punchlines. The production is otherwise flawless, with crisp audio that lets the story’s quieter, more introspective moments land. My only real critique? The middle act drags a touch as Taylor indulges in worldbuilding detours that, while clever, test the pacing. But when the plot snaps back into focus—especially in the final confrontation with the ‘Others’—it’s worth the wait. This is sci-fi for listeners who want their space battles served with a side of moral ambiguity and a chaser of gallows humor.
