Uplift Saga - first three books - David Brin (self.books)

I've read the first three books which are essentially a trilogy, and am starting on the later 3 three books.

Some thoughts: Sundiver - This one is definitely the roughest of the first three, clearly showing some cracks, and the overall atmosphere of this book doesn't really fit with the rest of the series, but the world building is great. Startide Rising - Definitely my favorite so far in terms of world building, characterization and plot. Uplift War - Fiben. Nothing else needs to be said. LOL

Have you read this series? What are your thoughts?

what's the series about ?

[โ€“] Crackhappy 1 points 2 years ago

Humanity joining into galactic civilization and the perils and rewards of that told from various individual perspectives. Specifically around "Uplift" which is when an advanced civilization uplifts a pre-sapient species to full sapience. There's quite a bit more to it, and it's honestly some pretty fun world building.
