“I am a relatively late entrant to the Uplift universe, but cannot help but get impressed with the richness of imagination and meticulous plotting.
The first trilogy is a bit disjointed compared to the second set. You almost get the feeling that Brin has a great idea but really does not know how to build a whole story around it (the task which he accomplishes so stunningly in the second trilogy).
But, the Uplift War remains a masterpiece, with innovation and humour winning against all odds over bureaucratic rigidity.
Actually, it makes you wonder whether, it really can be that simple. ”
