Slightly slow starting, intriguing beginning to a great series!
First book of the first Uplift trilogy. For those who are as easily confused as I am, there are two trilogies in the Uplift saga, so this is book one of six, and Brightness Reef is book four of six.
One of the best ever hard SF series-re-defined Space Opera
The first (stand-alone) book in his UPLIFT world. A fun mystery, but not earth-shattering or life-changing!
The first of Davin Brin's Uplift novels. It's science fiction set in a future universe where various peoples rely on those more advanced than themselves to "uplift" them to an advanced level of technology.
Of all the intelligent races in the universe, none has survived without the guidance of the Patrons - except mankind. But if our Patrons began the Uplift of the Human race aeons ago, why did they abandon us? Circling the sun, in the caverns of Mercury, Expedition Sundiver prepares for the most momentous journey in human history. A journey into the broiling inferno of the sun... to find our final destiny in the cosmic order of like.
very good
