Title: The final volume of the Uplift Trilogy falls flat.
Review: I really enjoyed the other books in Brin's Uplift universe, Startide Rising, The Uplift War, and the 1st two volumes in the current trilogy, but this book falls flat. In the 1st two volumes, Brin gives us characters that we care about in fascinating situations. I could hardly wait for the conclusion, and now I wish I hadn't read it. While it has many fascinating concepts, it does not have the intensity of the other books.
