The Uplift War The Uplift Saga Book 3 David Brin Books

Reviewers have praised Brin for a series of startling books- but this third installment captured my imagination. Building upon the concept of a 'Galactic Club', that tests applicants for membership, then consigns other pre-sentients to their care, it writes rules of civilization more complex than other authors ever mention, and demonstrates how they would operate. That includes war.
To begin, the plot includes a brief clash in space, moving to the planet- where action alternates between seaport/capital and wilderness. He provides the reader with rotating views of Humans, uplifted chimpanzees (known as Chims), the enemy (the Gubru) and ambassadors of other species (Tymbrimi & Thennanin). At first, the titles and names must be digested, but then the story picks up. Their war is fast-paced, see-sawing between technology and primitive inventions. Occasionally, we look in on the odyssey of two shipwrecked aliens struggling back to the capital. Imagery of the wilderness makes one feel the damp and thick undergrowth, where unseen creatures watch.
Characterization: It is fascinating to learn of the warlike Gubru, their leadership rituals, treatment of clients, and how fate treats them. Surprisingly, they will observe rules of civilized combat. Yet, only late in the book is their complex game plan revealed.
Tymbrimi are known as pranksters, something the invaders forget. I warmly remember the delayed punchline of a joke threading through every chapter. It is ironic, droll, and includes several species. However, they are not the only ones: look for the pipeline stunt.
Fortunately, action involves a small cast, referring to others indirectly. Readers soon invest in favorite characters, looking forward to future appearances. Each changes in ways that surprise- and a few drop out of sight to reappear later.
Writing is imaginative: the psi-broadcasts, the educational prospects of a Galactic Library, and Tymbrimi mental creations (called 'glyphs'), illustrated how unprepared humans might be in a Galactic gathering.
The conclusion impacted me favorably; it built upon activities of the 'Streaker', Startide Rising (Uplift Trilogy Book 2), then showed machinations that greedy races would engage in to grasp the treasure she might carry.

The Uplift War The Uplift Saga Book 3 David Brin Books Reviews

Wow! This book was super awesome!

I love how David Brin is able to craft a story that is epic in proportion while still giving us characters that we can relate to and care about.

This book takes place on a completely different planet with completely different characters than the first 2 books in the trilogy. Yet, it still continues the same story and allows us to see how the events of Startide Rising had consequences that ripple throughout the galaxies.

I loved the characters in this book. I loved learning about Athaclena and the empathic abilities of Tymbrimi. I loved Fiben and the other chims. I even liked Robert and the complex relationship he had with his commander mother. (Although, I'll be the first to admit that the human characters were the least interesting.)

I loved the spirit of the book, fighting a war against hopeless odds but never being willing to give up.

Most of all, I love the galactic society he has created, and I love the whole concept of uplift.

You definitely should read this. This is science fiction at its best.

My only complaint was that I still know nothing of the progenitors. I hear the Uplift Storm trilogy gets us back to the crew of the Streaker. Hopefully, that means I'll find out their secrets. But don't spoil it for me. I don't want to know until I read it for myself.
When David Brin, physicist and tale-spinner extraordinary, tackles a huge, multifaceted subject, he has only one rival, Stephen Baxter. Don't expect a sequel to "Startide Rising". Those characters return in the next 3-volume series. This book can stand alone, and is one of Brin's best works, a novel of patriotism, heroism, spying, revolution, comedy, wit, and typical Earthling bumbling and muddling through, although some of the Earthlings in this book are Chims and Chimmies (male and female NeoChimps). It's the 3rd and final part of the first Uplift novels (older sentient beings of the universe who millions of years ago began to genetically and educationally modify the minds and skills of former animals--even of mobile plants). Earth is a latecomer to the society of uplift clients, and Earthlings are not always treated with respect by snobbier beings of venerable lineage--and their fear of the newcomers and what they discovered in "Startide Rising" sets off "The Uplift War". It's a rousing space opera, and also a great discussion of religion, appreciation of differences, the meaning of bravery, all with considerable humor. You will fall in love with the heroic Chim, Fiben, and his scholarly Chimmie friend, Gailet, along with the intriguing elfin alien, Athaclena, and her human friend Robert--and all the others. Even the "villains" are described with understanding. Brin's best books include a vast cast of protagonists espousing different and conflicting viewpoints, and always plausibly characterized, and by the end one important hostile diplomat has been converted to Earth's cause. The ending of this book is fireworks! It belies a few reviewers who claim that there's usually not much of a conclusion to David Brin's long novels. Read this, and you'll decide that's a vile canard.
