Not the Bobiverse. I don't know that series yet. Do you recommend it?

I had to check my history:

Snowball Earth->Tonian->Boring Billion->Purple Earth Hypothesis

Definitely recommend the series, and the audio books narrated by Ray Porter are excellent as well.

Two of the Bobs were talking about a purple planet and said it was due to retinal so I had to look it up.

Also, what does "due to retinal" mean?
