	Startide Rising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Startide Rising is a 1983 science fiction novel by David Brin and the second book of six set in his Uplift Universe (preceded by Sundiver and followed by The Uplift War).
		Parts of Startide Rising were published as "The Tides of Kithrup" in the May 1981 issue of Analog.
		The Tides of Kithrup was an early title of the novel; uncorrected proofs of the novel that still bear that title have become collector's items.

		Startide Rising: This book focuses on the group that starts all the other events noted in the remaining books of the saga.
		Startide Rising is mainly a story about young upstarts crashing the galactic party who live to tell the tale.
		David Brin's "Startide Rising" is chock full of interesting ideas, most prominently the concept of uplifting, and is wrapped around a plot so colorful and believable that we forget our initial shock of seeing dolphins and chimps talking.

	Raven's Reviews: David Brin
		In chronological order within the novels, these are: Sundiver, Startide Rising, The Uplift War, Brightness Reef, Infinity's Shore, and Heaven's Reach (on a side note, I love his titles, and the poetry in the books that they come from).
		The daughter of the Timbrimi ambassador (a race which is actually friendly towards mankind, if overly fond of practical jokes) is caught up in trying to find and hide the secrets humanity has hidden on the planet, and in the process learns more about herself and about what humans are capable of.
		The Startide's discovery influences their lives as well, when the races chasing Startide find the planet and life is no longer simple.

		David Brin's second novel, Startide Rising, established him as one of the premier science fiction writers of his generation upon its 1983 publication.
		Startide Rising is probably the best space opera ever written and we are very likely to see it on the big screen in the near future.
		Startide Rising is the second volume of Brin's first uplift universe trilogy.

	The Uplift War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The previous two books are Sundiver and Startide Rising.
		The novel begins in the year 2489 C.E. with the galatic Gubru preparing to invade Garth, Earthlings on Garth preparing to defend their claim to the planet, and ambassadors from other races preparing to depart.
		The Gubru will attempt to hold Garth hostage in an attempt to learn more about the discovery the human spaceship Streaker made in Startide Rising about the Progenitors.

	Suggested Reading... - Mass Effect Community
		Sundiver, which is stand alone, and not really "epic." Startide Rising, starts the epic storyline which is continued in the "Uplift War" trilogy.
		Startide rising is the best, and as I recall, the final book of the trilogy was getting a bit thin.
		Startide Rising won the Hugo and Nebula awards the year it came out.

	Emerald City - #21
		Startide Rising is the book which won Brin his first Hugo and, in my opinion, is the best of the three.
		Whereas in Startide Rising Brin discovers quality characterisation, in The Uplift War he discovers that a novel can be far more then a story, it can have a message too.
		Startide Rising introduces a plethora of other races and is a classic example of the Niven technique of basing alien species on Earth creatures.

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews
		Like the rest of David Brin's Uplift series, Startide Rising is unapologetic space opera, but it's a good space opera.
		But the most impressive element in Startide Rising is the dolphins, who are intelligent but retain feelings and actions that are fundamentally dolphin.
		Startide Rising is one of the few books I've picked up and haven't put back down until reading it cover to cover.

	Sloan3D: Brin-L "Startide Rising" Movie News
		As a final word, some general information about where this project might be headed: The "Startide Rising" movie (if it gets made, which at the point cannot be certain) will be a high profile, high budget live action film.
		Startide Rising is back on track after a brief delay involving some studio political issues and my schedule (I spent the last few months adapting "Software" by Rudy Rucker for Phoenix Pictures).
		The first draft of Startide Rising was well received by Mace Neufeld and his development staff.

	October BOTM: Startide Rising by David Brin - sffworld.com
		I thought startide rising was the best one in the Uplift series, also i really dig the whole uplift concept and liked the way the dolphins turned out.
		A great read would be starting off with Startide Rising, followed by the second uplift series (Brightness Reef, Infinity's Shore and Heaven's Reach).
		However I loved it, and was so pleased when it was developed in the novel, Startide Rising.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Heaven's Reach
		Brin's previous books set in the common Uplift universe (Sundiver, Startide Rising and The Uplift War) are thematically linked stand-alone novels that tell complete stories in-and-of themselves.
		Though The Uplift War hinges on events which take place in Startide Rising, the books have completely different casts of characters and can be read independently.
		More, Startide Rising was easily on of the top ten science fiction novels of the 1980s, a real tour-de-force.

	Colin Glassey on David Brin
		Since the publication of Startide Rising, Brin has gone on to write a number of great science fiction novels and short stories.
		Perhaps those people who haven't read Startide Rising will not enjoy the book as much as I did, but considering the popularity of the first book, hopefully not that many people are in that category.
		For most of the book the Streaker, the heroic ship and crew of Startide Rising, are pushed around from place to place as they observe birth and death on a cosmic scale.

		Perhaps Brin's most famous work is the Uplift Trilogy, which begins with Sundiver, continues with the Hugo and Nebula award-winning Startide Rising, and finishes with The Uplift War.
		Startide Rising is the best of the three (with The Uplift War coming in a close second), and you can read Startide Rising before reading Sundiver without fear of getting lost.
		Startide Rising occurs some decades later, and involves the flight of the Earth starship Streaker from Galactic armadas intent on recovering a secret discovered by the dolphin crew.

		Dominating the scenery were metal-mounds, giant, spongy islands shaped by millions of generations of coral-like creatures, whose metallo-organic exoskeletons accumulated into huge, flat-topped mountains rising a few meters above the mean water mark.
