About this eBook

WINNER OF THE HUGO, LOCUS AND NEBULA AWARDS

Under the caverns of Mercury, the Sundiver Mission prepares for a momentous voyage: a journey into the blazing inferno of the sun, to seek our destiny in the cosmic order of life.

For in a universe where no species can reach sentience without being 'uplifted' by a patron race, only humanity - it seems - may have climbed to the stars unaided. This is a feat that puzzles and even angers some of the ancient, mighty Galactic Clans.

Now, in a saga that warps from Earth to the far-reaches of five galaxies, the greatest mystery of all may be explained . . .

This omnibus contains the first three novels in David Brin's classic and award-winning science fiction series, the Uplift Saga: SUNDIVER, STARTIDE RISING and THE UPLIFT WAR.

Ratings and reviews

I love sci fi, particularly long space opera. This book is really boring so decided to check online and see if the end would be worth it - turns out there is no real end, and the author just keeps on reusing a really annoying writing device through all 6 books. First time ive ever left a bad book review...

Read this series a number of times. He's an author whho knows ho we to get the balance between the science and the ''human'' interactions. Great read.

Brin establishes his story tellingly abilities with this series. A 'must' for every bookshelf.
