Nach dem Krieg gegen die Sternenflotte ist im Bobiverse nichts mehr wie es einmal war: auf mehreren Planeten hat sich eine Anti-Bob-Bewegung gegründet, eine KI bedroht den brüchigen Frieden und mehrere Bobs wollen ihren Job an den Nagel hängen. Doch all das ist harmlos im Vergleich zu der Entdeckung, die Dädalus und Ikarus auf ihrer Reise zum Zentrum der Galaxie machen.

In their zeal for reform, early Protestant leaders tended to throw out Saint Benedict with the holy water. That is a mistake, writes Dennis Okholm, in Monk Habits for Everyday People. While on retreat in a Benedictine abbey, the author, a professor who was raised as a Pentecostal and a Baptist, observed how the meditative and ordered life of a monk lifted Jesus' teachings off the printed page and put them into daily practice. Vital aspects of devotion, humility, obedience, hospitality, and evangelism took on new clarity and meaning.

El agente federal Teddy Daniels y su ayudante, Chuck Aule, son enviados allí porque una de las reclusas, Rachel Solando, parece haberse evadido de algún modo incomprensible de una celda cerrada a cal y canto. La única pista es una hoja de papel con una serie de números y letras sin significado aparente.
