Startide Rising
Startide Rising | David Brin
4 posts | 14 read | 7 to read
David Brin's Uplift novels are among the most thrilling and extraordinary science fiction ever written. Sundiver, Startide Rising, and The Uplift War--a New York Times bestseller--together make up one of the most beloved sagas of all time. Brin's tales are set in a future universe in which no species can reach sentience without being "uplifted" by a patron race. But the greatest mystery of all remains unsolved: who uplifted humankind? The Terran exploration vessel Streaker has crashed in the uncharted water world of Kithrup, bearing one of the most important discoveries in galactic history. Below, a handful of her human and dolphin crew battles armed rebellion and a hostile planet to safeguard her secret--the fate of the Progenitors, the fabled First Race who seeded wisdom throughout the stars. From the Paperback edition.

I love this book SO much!! It‘s the 2nd book in Brin‘s Uplift series and I enjoyed it even more than the 1st, and I loved that one too! This story is set centuries later with an entirely different cast of characters. A spaceship with a crew of humans, dolphins and a chimp, stumbles upon a history altering find out in space. Now it finds itself the focus of countless dangerous galactic enemies. An epic science fiction adventure follows that⬇️

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm had me turning page after page. The multiple POVs is done really well, especially with the different species. I look forward to the next in this trilogy.

This was one of my #Roll100 picks for March. 9mo

He wants us both up on the bridge, I suppose so the fins can see us and know their human patrons are nearby. Even a competent dolphin spacer like Creideiki might feel the need from time to time. If only we humans had that psychological refuge.

A spaceship crewed by a few humans and dozens of "uplifted" sentient dolphins who sometimes communicate in verse... Startide Rising is wonderfully strange.
