Series: Uplift #1 I read the two books that come after this one in the series a few years ago and I liked them, so I was looking for some background on that word but I think this one went further back than I'd like. Earth has encountered the various races of aliens that have a tradition of "uplift...
The Earth has been brought into the galactic fold, but finds itself a pariah because of its dubious pedigree. All the other races in the galaxy have achieved sentience through uplift by older and wiser species. Or so the galactics' propaganda maintains. Common wisdom dictates that it would be imposs...
This book is both a sci-fi and murder mystery in one. While it took a little work to get through the first few pages which set up the story line, I was engrossed from that point on. As the story starts, humanity has just joined a galactic civilization where there is a pecking order to each species b...
Series: The Uplift Saga #1 Publisher: Bantam Spectra (2010 - first edition 1980) Genre(s): Science Fiction Edition read was the following: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...I'll do a proper review later on, maybe, but I am disappointed in this first installment. The premise is amazing: Human...
2014 re-read. The first book of the uplift trilogy and somewhat different in style from the novels that followed. This is mostly a murder mystery in space and was enjoyable for what it was. You should read this one to see how much the story progressed as it went along...

This is the first book in the The Uplift War series. It took me a while to get into this book. The characters, particularly the protagonist and main point of view character, Jacob Demwa, are likeable. I liked his love interest, Helene De Silva, too. But I can't say Brin's characters strike me as com...
An interesting story with an interesting view of the human race. Humans are rare in the universe because they weren't uplifted by another race. Now that we've made contact other races aren't sure how to take the humans and many human's aren't sure how to take the aliens, down to being downright ...
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. That’...
This was a recommendation from my husband, who read these books (The Uplift Saga) when he was younger and loved them. For a science fiction novel that was written and published before I was born, I have to say it has aged very well; this could have been written today. The technology and the science ...
