1. Alas, Babylon (Perennial Classics (Prebound))4.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Pat Frank
Publisher: Perfection Learning
2005-07

This book was written in 1959 at the height of the Cold War. The world was skittish and fearful of a nuclear war. What I thought was so interesting about this book was the difference of fear of nuclear obliteration vs. terrorism today. Both involve surviving and both involve changing the way you live. it's a good read... more

2. The Postman (Bantam Classics)4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: David Brin
Publisher: Spectra
November 03, 1997

After coming across the movie one Saturday morning I became inquisitive as to how good the book would be. The movie wasn't the Oscar winning title, but hey movies based off books aren't the best anyways. I knew the book would be better so I decided to read it my senior year in high school.
It basically starts up post end of mankind and follows the life of a "postman." The first portion... more

4. The Uplift War (The Uplift Saga, Book 3)4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: David Brin
Publisher: Spectra
June 01, 1987

While the dolphin-crewed survey ship "Streaker" is trying desperately to survive on its water world (for the details of which you need to read the previous book in the trilogy), mankind finds itself under military and diplomatic attack everywhere in its corner of the galaxy. The senior patron races, those with the most power and the longest history of genetically advancing other species to sentience... more

5. Startide Rising (Uplift Trilogy)4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: David Brin
Publisher: Spectra Books
1993-09

When this amazing novel first appeared a quarter-century ago, its sheer originality and level of creative detail were enough to win it both the Hugo and the Nebula. And the competition that year wasn't even close. It wasn't Brin's first book, but it was the one that made readers take notice. It's a few centuries in out future and mankind has finally attained some sort of sanity without exterminating... more

6. Sundiver (The Uplift Saga, Book 1)3.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: David Brin
Publisher: Spectra
January 01, 1985

Maybe I give Sundiver short-shrift by rating it at three stars. It is well worth reading, particularly insofar as it enhances your appreciation of Startide Rising (my favorite of the Uplift trilogy) and the Uplift War (my second favorite).

Yes, that makes Sundiver my least favorite of the first Uplift trilogy. Owing perhaps to the novelty of the concept, there isn't a lot going on here... more

7. The Practice Effect (Bantam Spectra Book)4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: David Brin
Publisher: Spectra
January 01, 1995

But a nice easy fun read.

There's little new here .. except for the premise that things are backward. Once that concept is understood there is nothing original left.

Anti-hero becomes super-hero, miraculously escapes all sorts of impossible situations, gets beautiful princess ,, single-handedly diverts a war .. discovers the history of the world, quite unexpectedly at the... more

By: David Brin
Publisher: Harper Prism
April 07, 1999

Hari Seldon, old and sick, can feel his vitality diminishing day by day. His time vault recording sessions have been completed. The preparations for Terminus, the Foundation, are progressing well with the lead of his daughter Wanda. Suddenly a bureaucrat Horis Antic shows Hari a soil composition analysis. This work may prove to be the missing piece of fitting chaos into the mathematical equations... more

9. Infinity's Shore (The Uplift Trilogy, Book 2)4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: David Brin
Publisher: Spectra
November 03, 1997

I liked "Brightness Reef", much like I enjoy almost any other David Brin book. And maybe because it suffers from being the first book in a trilogy and thus has to get a lot of balls rolling but "Infinity's Shores" beats it on almost every level. Part of my problem with the first part was a slight lack of focus, as Brin took us all over the world and threw us into every plot like they were all of... more

10. Earth4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: David Brin
Publisher: Spectra
May 01, 1991

I'm sad to be rating this so low. The book is quite good, but the Kindle version of it is an example of lazy publishing. I am in a book group and was the only one with the electronic version. Therefore, it was very easy for me to verify that the Kindle version is riddled full of typos while the print versions are not. On top of that, the publisher DIDN'T INCLUDE A TABLE OF CONTENTS. It makes jumping... more
