Book Description

Publication Date: 6 Dec 2012 | Series: Uplift Omnibus Book 1

WINNER OF THE HUGO, LOCUS AND NEBULA AWARDS

Under the caverns of Mercury, the Sundiver Mission prepares for a momentous voyage: a journey into the blazing inferno of the sun, to seek our destiny in the cosmic order of life.

For in a universe where no species can reach sentience without being 'uplifted' by a patron race, only humanity - it seems - may have climbed to the stars unaided. This is a feat that puzzles and even angers some of the ancient, mighty Galactic Clans.

Now, in a saga that warps from Earth to the far-reaches of five galaxies, the greatest mystery of all may be explained . . .

This omnibus contains the first three novels in David Brin's classic and award-winning science fiction series, the Uplift Saga: SUNDIVER, STARTIDE RISING and THE UPLIFT WAR.

Product Description

Review

His best stories surge forward with tremendous energy, each one avid to find some extrapolated consequence of its premise which will startle and challenge the reader (INTERZONE)

The Uplift books are as compulsive reading as anything ever published in the genre (THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION)

Brin's storytelling abilites come to the fore in THE UPLIFT WAR. He handles a large cast extremely well, and the course of the war is laid out to make a thrilling, nail-biting storyline that moves at neckbreak speed (VECTOR)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read 19 Jan 2013
By Jim
Format:Kindle Edition
This is my first book review. I'm 68 and have been reading for entertainment since I was 8 years old (continuously). SciFi is my favourite genre because the only limitation is the authors imagination. David brin has no limits on his imagination. This book is, without doubt, one of the better reads I have enjoyed. The characterisation is great. The story line is great. The scope is great. I really enjoyed this book and have just bought the second trilogy. Definitely recommended for SciFi fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space Opera II 22 Jan 2013
By K PENNINGTON
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A good read and basic SF adventure in the best Space Opera tradition. These books are difficult to put down and he does keep you turning the pages. Not the most inventive of stories, with many elements that could be set in the world of Star Trek, Babylon 5 or Battelstar Gallactica - but that set they are all good fun and so is this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will definitely have you thinking. 12 May 2013
By Ez
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my first David Brin book and it won't be my last. On the strength of this book I immediately went a purchased the Uplift Trilogy by the same author.

Absorbing to read with great characters and a brilliant plot, I couldn't put it down.
