The Tymbrimi aliens are one of the few 'eatees' that are allied with the 'wolfling' humans and their clan, and the Tymbrimi enjoy a good joke. The Gubru birdlike aliens were a great and well thought out enemy and I really enjoyed the guerilla/gorilla pun aspect. This was another long story about neo-chimpanzees trying to survive in an isolated mountain region against overwhelming odds. I have a sneaky suspicion that this Uplift Saga will be better than the sum of it's parts, like the old Shannara books. “The Uplift books are as compulsive reading as anything ever published in the genre.” - The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Read more and there are the wonders of the Galactic civilizations (which have all the invention and excitement that SF used to have).” - Asimov’s Science Fiction “Shares all the properties that made Startide such a joy. There is no way we can avoid coming back as many times as Brin wants us to, until his story is done.” - Locus “An exhilarating read that encompasses everything from breathless action to finely drawn moments of quiet intimacy. This ebook features a new introduction by the author. If they are to survive, they have no choice but to band together, improvise, and learn the tactics of guerilla warfare.
With Earth itself under attack by other militant forces, no relief is coming for the embattled colonists. One of them-the Gubru avian race-prepares to invade and hold hostage defenseless Garth. Meanwhile, enemies desperately seek some way to coerce Earthclan, looking for a possible answer to the secret of the Progenitors. But now Garth is peacefully surging back, tended by human and neo-chimpanzee colonists. Many senior Galactics-leaders of the Five Galaxies-hoped humanity would fail. As a “salvage world,” it was given to despised Earthlings, assigned to reclaim it from the brink. Hostile aliens take an Earth colony hostage in this New York Times–bestselling hard science fiction adventure by the author of Startide Rising.Īlthough they were uplifted and given full sapience, the Bururalli clearly weren’t ready to run a planet, almost wrecking Garth.
