"The trilogy continues. I found it to be a more immersive read than the first part as the pace is more sustained through the book and the (re)introduction of the (familiar from the first trilogy)Streaker helps my emotional-buy-in to the trilogy."
— Andre (4 out of 5 stars)
" Richly imagined and extremely well executed. I recommend the whole series. "
— Harry, 2/7/2014" Begins to really build momentum but still a bit slow in comparison to StarTide Rising. Glad I was able to stick with it for the pay off at the end of the series. Definitely worth reading if you are a fan of Brin or the uplift universe. "
— Mark, 2/1/2014" Second book in the Uplift trilogy. It continues the story of Jijo, but the Streaker crew starts showing up more. "
— Amy, 1/17/2014" I think I was probably way too young to understand this book when I read it. Oh well. "
— Kelly, 12/5/2013" Super digging this so far. "
— Mel, 11/27/2013" Brin's continuing saga of the Streaker. A strong read that only fails in that it isn't as great as Startide Rising. "
— Dev, 11/5/2013" Still kinda lame... but just hold out... the 3rd book in this trilogy is worth the wait. "
— Wes, 10/7/2013" Buy or borrow this series. It is easy to suspend disbleief by Brin's accuracy in science, scope of environment, and vibrant dialogue - fun, too. "
— Patrick\, 8/15/2013" As with the other books in the Uplift series, each sub story is fantastically crafted, but sometimes you are left feeling lost as it jumps around so much "
— Dan, 8/12/2013" This visit to the Uplift Universe wears thin rather quickly. "
— Joe, 3/4/2013" Great eascspism and world building. "
— Hector, 6/9/2012" I really can't say enough good things about Brin's Uplift universe. I highly recommend this series. "
— Pops, 3/31/2012" Fifth book in the series and second in the current story arch, the scifi is running low and the improbable events are running hot, but Brin's writing keeps it very entertaining. "
— Jeffrey, 11/17/2011" The last book in this trilogy better be at least this good. "
— Roberto, 11/14/2011" Damn, that's a bad place for a cliffhanger... "
— Craig, 9/22/2010" I really need to reread this whole series from Sundiver to the end. The story on Jijo is very good. "
— Mike, 6/25/2010" dont remember which is which. all were great. "
— Alex, 4/18/2010" Thoughts on the trilogy as a whole are under Heaven's Reach. These books really aren't readable separately, despite each sequel wasting dozens of pages on exposition from previous entries. "
— Jon, 3/11/2010" Definitely a "middle" book with cliffhanging ending but a seemingly good one to forward readers to the final novel, "Heaven's Reach." "
