| | 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 first, Sundiver, is written in the early stages after humanity learns they're not alone, and involves Jacob Demwa, a man who was working with the dolphin uplift project, being brought in on a solar research project where manned spacecraft are sent into the sun to collect information. |
 | | The essential difference between the two is that Sundiver is about a mentally skewed person trying to cope with a universe into which he doesn't quite fit, and Startide Rising is about that universe. |
