Hostile aliens take an Earth colony hostage in this New York
Times-bestselling hard science fiction adventure by the author of
Startide Rising. Although they were uplifted and given full
sapience, the Bururalli clearly weren't ready to run a planet,
almost wrecking Garth. As a "salvage world," it was given to
despised Earthlings, assigned to reclaim it from the brink. Many
senior Galactics--leaders of the Five Galaxies--hoped humanity
would fail. But now Garth is peacefully surging back, tended by
human and neo-chimpanzee colonists. Meanwhile, enemies desperately
seek some way to coerce Earthclan, looking for a possible answer to
the secret of the Progenitors. One of them--the Gubru avian
race--prepares to invade and hold hostage defenseless Garth. With
Earth itself under attack by other militant forces, no relief is
coming for the embattled colonists. If they are to survive, they
have no choice but to band together, improvise, and learn the
tactics of guerilla warfare. This book features a new introduction
by the author. Winner of the Hugo Award "An exhilarating read that
encompasses everything from breathless action to finely drawn
moments of quiet intimacy. There is no way we can avoid coming back
as many times as Brin wants us to, until his story is done."
--Locus "Shares all the properties that made Startide such a joy.
The plot fizzes along . . . and there are the wonders of the
Galactic civilizations (which have all the invention and excitement
that SF used to have)." --Asimov's Science Fiction "The Uplift
books are as compulsive reading as anything ever published in the
genre." --The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
