Description
"A starship crew of humans and dolphins skirts the brink of interstellar war in this epic adventure by the New York Times -- bestselling author of The Postman. We are not alone. Humanity's explorations have revealed galaxies inhabited by millions of intelligent species interacting under ancient traditions. Foremost among said traditions is uplift , which requires all spacefaring races to welcome newcomers into Galactic culture by breeding and genetically guiding each client species to full sapience -- but at a price. Patron races demand centuries of indentured servitude from each uplifted client. But is upstart humanity a patron or a client? The Earthship Streaker -- crewed by humans and uplifted dolphins and chimpanzees -- discovers a derelict armada, perhaps left by the very first patrons, the fabled Progenitors. Suddenly the Five Galaxies teeter on the brink of all-out war as fanatics hunt Streaker for the secret. With a damaged ship and hostile aliens in pursuit, the crew must band together if they hope to survive... This ebook features a new introduction by the author. Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards "An extraordinary achievement." -- Poul Anderson, award-winning author of Tau Zero "What a wonderful ride... Startide Rising is one of the books that I remember most fondly, out of all I have read, and rereading it thirty years later proved just as enjoyable as the first time. I remain amazed at how many different characters and subplots Brin juggles without a misstep, and the way he keeps the tension and suspense high throughout." -- Tor.com "This is one of the outstanding SF novels of recent years." -- Publishers Weekly "One of maybe twenty science fiction novels that deserve the label classic." -- Time"--,Provided by Freading.
