Negative Positive
Title: Answers a lot of questions.
Review: This is the fourth and maybe the last book in the trilogy. It started with Startide Rising. If you want the whole story you have to read that one first. Heaven's Reach is a vast complex story that could possibly be the end of the Uplift series. I have heard that Mr. Brin is going to keep writing Uplift stories but he could end it on this one if he wanted to. This is the best book in the whole trilogy. It has action, intrigue, chase scenes, LOTS and LOTS of aliens, and more philosophy than you can shake a stick at. When I finished it I went back and read Startide Rising again after many years, and saw how much Mr. Brin has grown. He is much better at building a picture in your head. He is better at character development without spending pages on a characters personal history. He has learned how to write a page turner. I recommend this and the other three books in this trilogy.
