Sundiver

It's been a long time since my first read of Sundiver. On my first read, I remember not enjoying it as much as the other Uplift Saga books, but I also read them out of order (I read Startide Rising followed by The Uplift War, then Sundiver originally). I've been meaning to re-read the series (and the 2nd series for the first time) but am just getting around to it.

At any rate, I enjoyed this quite a bit on my second reading. I had completely forgotten the plot and the twists in the story, which is a good thing because there'd be little re-read value otherwise. That being said, the story is good, with an interesting plot. Characters are really good, especially the primary protagonist. The anthropology-based sci-fi is top notch as well. Overall, a very solid book and a reminder of why I've often thought of David Brin as one of my favorite authors.
