I'm getting to the with this series of wondering whether to bother writing reviews, as I reach the 30th volume I feel I'm repeating myself. This is a great gently humorous, science fiction, which cares about character over combat devastation and violence. This volume was more of the same and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
As always I will say if you are interested don't start here go back to volume 1 and enjoy the experience from the start.

I just love this Series and had a difficult time awaiting for more to come available on Audible books. This is a series you truely need to start from the beginning to get the entire experience. Narrator is Great and does one Heck of a job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

The story continues
The Bob and Nikki space opera is one of the best storylines ever. For pure reading enjoyment, overall entertainment, and a true bonhommie, I reccommend this series for everyone. Jerry Boyd manages to keep the intrigue and adventure flowing through book after book so well that it keeps me checking everyday for the next one. Thank you Mr. Boyd this is the one of the best Christmas presents I have ever recieved.

I just finished Mr Wilson's Neighborhood, Which is Book 30 in the series, and I have to say I enjoyed each and every one of these books and I'm really looking forward to the next one. I had several LOL moments in each volume, and a few references that I had to look up, but I love that kind of thing. Guess I need one of those Culture Packs from the commonwealth.
One of my favorite parts of the series is when the author explores the effect that the now public existence of BSR has on Earth. While picket duty at home may be boring to Bob and his crew, I really hope that we get to stay on Earth for at least another novel, and learn more about the Marine efforts to help emergency services teams, and of Course, what heights the Allbot Brothers will reach with their fame.
The only complaint I have about the series (and it's minor) is that there are mysteries that Boyd has just left hanging for a few books so far. I really would like a few of them looked into, particularly the mysterious ship that influenced the Boatmen.

I've been doing a fair amount of research and study reading as I work on revising the first draft of my novel and I just felt like I needed something a little light and fun and when I need that, the Bob and Nikki books by Jerry Boyd are a nice diversion. In this one, Bob and company make it back to earth to take a little r&r and get to deal with some suspicious characters ostensibly from the U.S. government. They also make some new friends and begin some new adventures. This is book 30 of what I believe is a true series, i.e. you're best off starting with book 1 and working forward. These books are a lot of fun and the writer is very prolific so the series seems to be able to carry on for quite some time. If you need an exciting and generally light hearted, fun, feel good book. Check out this series.

Mr. Wilson's Neighborhood
Just another book of the adventures of BSR - or Bob's Saucer Repair. The stories are entertain and continue drawing me to keep reading, hence this being book 30 in the series. I enjoy the way the author gives the crew a problem but then Admiral Bob and the crew solve the problem without doing any one harm and limiting damage. Sometimes though it seems the the Admiral gets a little too needy about why he's the one in the "big chair" - after 30 books he shouldn't be so unsure of himself anymore. I guess we have to put it down to filling a space in the dialogue. Whatever, I do believe I will continue to with
Bob to the end of this series and highly recommend BSR for the joy of some lite reading of his adventures with a bit of humor!

Always Good!
30 books in, and Jerry Boyd has never failed to deliver on his wonderful Bob and Nikki series!
I think I’ve said before that I don’t normally continue a series past the 5th book, but I keep reading the books in this series because each story is ALWAYS a feel good pick-me-up.
The main protagonists are people of dignity, honor, and integrity and their stories are always about the best in us.
I can’t help but believe that these stories reflect something of the author’s character - at least that’s what I want to believe when I read tales that consistently paint its myriad characters as beings I would welcome in my own life.
What a wonderful story!

Very relaxed and engrossing visit home.
The story feels more like time with the family and dealing with problems as they pop up, rather than major star shaping events. If you enjoy being immersed in daily issues within the context of advanced interstellar technology then this is the series for you. Start from the beginning if you're expecting to grasp the full tapestry of the many threads in play. It's worth it!

As Good As the First Book
Nicely done Mr. Boyd! The thirtieth installment reads with the same clarity and humor as the first book, which is definitely a delightful find. Continued development for a host of existing characters, some new situations which are handled with the same flair as always and a feel good ending for this book, tempered with a smile.

Bob and Nikki Ride again
Excellent story that keeps you turning pages. I really enjoy the snappy dialogue. Problems with government, that have an unusual twist, Squatch evacuated and a dozen other problems all conspired to keep Bob from enjoying his shore leave. But then again Bob is happiest solving problems. Bring on the next book!

Fun read!
I read the first 29 books of this series in a month and a half. I was kind of jonesing for more of the BSR adventures. So glad I saw this at the Kindle store. Its always good to keep up with your friends and these characters, after hanging with them through 30 episodes (or books) have become familiar as friends. Thoroughly enjoyable series!

I just read through all 30 Bobs Saucer Repair books. The stories and characters are so entertaining that it was difficult to put down. I haven’t just relaxed and enjoyed a batch of books this much since I was a kid. Very relatable, funny and sometimes a little “out there” but very satisfying read. I look forward to the next episode!

A nice slice of Snitz pie
This is a nice slice of life work in the BSR universe. Nothing to exciting happens, and the reader should sit back and enjoy the characters (old and new) within.
Has a little bit of everything we've come to expect from Jerry Boyd. Think of yourself taking a little shore leave with the crew.

Another great storyline a bit less drama but still good!
You could a!most subtitle this "A day in the life of Bob from Bob's Saucer Repair!"
No real to life battles, just a few people needing to reset their priorities. As always it was a fun story to read. Now, i'll just have to await the next book!

Another great storyline
This a good stand alone storyline, but a great one if you already know the characters. I look forward to the next installment. All of the characters are relatable and if you are like me the remind you of someone in real life. Do yourself a favor and read "Mr. Wilson's Neighborhood (Bob and Nikki Book 30).

It's a series
Another great continuation of the Bob & Nikki saga. This is Definitely NOT a stand alone story - you really need to start at the beginning (of the series) to have any hope of following the story line. That said, the series is definitely worth it for light scifi fans. Eagerly awaiting the next installment.

good
I enjoyed this book but there were a few things that bothered me about the continuity, lunch!. A couple times bob had lunch did something and then had lunch again. I know I’m being a bit dramatic but it takes me out of the story that is fun and entertaining. Still I enjoyed reading.

the clever plots continue to pull the series along
There are repetitive elements to the prose that will be a turnoff for some. However, if you are reading this series after 30 books, then the interlocking plots are still entertaining you as are the interesting characters and the way Jerry Boyd continues to develop them.

Another very interesting and quite a nice, but not totally an expected ending!
This was another fun book to read! Nothing bad happened to the BSR group and quite a few people got helped. I was kind of expecting the ending, but not as soon as what I was expecting happened. I cannot tell you what it was, so you'll just have to read it yourself.

Another Fun Read in the BSR Universe
Bob and Nikki having fun on Earth again. Uncle Murphy keeps his head down and the kids keep growing. If you don’t know what I am talking about you should start the series at the beginning and enjoy the ride. Just don’t take it seriously because nobody does.

It's bob and nikki
If you haven't read the rest of the series, why are you reading this review? This was a good addition, although his editing is slipping, pretty sure I found one inconsistency. Or maybe it's a future plot point. Who knows.

Lots of fun
...As always! I have now read all 30 books in the Bob and Nikki series, and they are still as fresh and fun to read as when I began. If you are a longtime reader, you know what I mean. If not, what the hack have you been doing? Get busy!

A great fun series, always!
Bob’s saucer repair gets me every time! His fun way of leadership makes me want to join up. I like all the interaction with all the characters, and as usual, I can hardly wait for the next book! Bring it on, Jerry!

Another awesome story!
I sure don’t know how Jerry does it. 30 (AWESOME) books in a couple of years. And they’re now bringing them out on paper. Do yourself a favor and pick up Bob’s Saucer Repair (book 1)
. If you don’t get hooked you’re not paying attention!

Another Outstanding Read
I enjoy having a look into the world of BSR. The stories are a good way to pass some time in a universe where things will come out for the best. Please keep them coming.

If you haven't read any of Bob and Nikki' s books start now. Never a disappointment in reading. Tells a story that you can't wait for the next one. I have enjoyed reading all 30 books now, some even twice more.
Another great job Mr. Boyd!

It's all in the banter
It's all in the banter between charactures. There's no impending doom or epic space battles, not much "pew pew pew". Yet still down to earth in outer space. A few real issues wrapped in humor and enough sci fi to keep it interesting.

Waiting on the next one.
