Narrative To Books The Uplift War (The Uplift Saga #3)

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? As galactic armadas clash in quest of the ancient fleet of the Progenitors, a brutal alien race seizes the dying planet of Garth. The various uplifted inhabitants of Garth must battle their overlords or face ultimate extinction. At stake is the existence of Terran society and Earth, and the fate of the entire Five Galaxies. Sweeping, brilliantly crafted, inventive and dramatic, The Uplift War is an unforgettable story of adventure and wonder from one of today's science fiction greats.

Criticism Regarding Books The Uplift War (The Uplift Saga #3)

Christmas 2010: I realised that I had got stuck in a rut. I was re-reading old favourites again and again, waiting for a few trusted authors to release new works. Something had to be done.On the spur of the moment I set myself a challenge, to read every book to have won the Locus Sci-Fi award. Thats 35 books, 6 of which Id previously read, leaving 29 titles by 14 authors who were new to me.While working through this reading list I got married, went on my honeymoon, switched career and became a

Storyline: 2/5Characters: 3/5Writing Style: 3/5World: 4/5The Uplift universe is one of my favorite far future, alien abundant, military science fiction realms. Granted, the list of qualifying series might be small, thus this might be more of a backhanded compliment than I intended. I do, however, really like the scope and powers, timelines and actors that make up the background for the Uplift Saga. Brin as a storyteller I'm still not so sure about.If Brin had used a different pen name for each

4.0 stars. The continuation of the Uplift Saga began in the superb Startide Rising. Amazing world-building (rather universe building), a superb plot and peopled by fascinating characters and races. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Winner: Hugo Award for Best Science Fiction Novel (1988)Winner: Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel (1988)Nominee: Nebula Award for Best Science Fiction Novel (1988)Nominee: Prometheus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel (1988)

I've always wondered what would happen if The Muppets were to visit the Planet of the Apes......NOT. Yet, In Uplift Wars, that's exactly what you get. A race of space-faring overgrown chickens attacks a planet populated by upright, talking, super intelligent apes and their human counterparts. The only things missing are Pigs in Space, and the Amazing Gonzo. While I admit there were parts that were highly entertaining, I mostly found this novel tedious, ridiculous and annoying. I'm being generous

Ive enjoyed all six of David Brins uplift novels but, in some ways, I wish I had read The Uplift War first instead of last. Sundiver, the first novel, was bit of a snooze for me and seemed disconnected from the rest of the series in time and space. I can disregard that one. The Uplift War is the second novel, and this is where the political landscape of the Five Galaxies is laid out. All of sentient life follows the protocol of Uplift established by the Progenitors, the semi-mythological

It's great fun to see some genuine world-building and an attempt at differently thinking alien species. However, the far-flung nature is somewhat belied by constant references to 20th century culture such as Jane Goodall and the three stooges. It also would be a much better book if it were 100-150 pages shorter.Nonetheless one that anyone interested in the breadth of SF should probably pick up.
