I'm always looking for media featuring aliens, especially multiple races. Came across this on TvTropes. Seems to dismiss the first book and say its unneeded. Anyone here enjoy/hate this one? Any starting point you'd recommend? Most importantly how prominent are the aliens?

Haven't read the book but I have a book of the cover artwork artist!

Teenage me jacked it to this book a lot. I mean c'mon.

The Uplift series isn't really that third picture but I can kind of see why this person did the cover art.

The last one actually reminds me of Saturn's Children where the cover is like a worse CGI version of that, but the book actually thinks it through in a way that makes this person a compelling point of view character.
