Brin, David Heaven's Reach
Orbit May 6, 1999 1-85723-739-0 / 9781857237399 Paperback Very Good
The final book in Brin's Uplift Storm Trilogy (Infinity's Shore; Brightness Reef) sets space opera against a canvas that spans the galaxies, colored w ith interstellar conflict and peopled with smart-mouthed chimpanzees, overw helmed humans and neo-dolphins who form the stalwart crew of the spaceship Streaker. The narrative, which unfolds at frenzied speed, opens with the Ea rth under attack by an alliance of evil aliens, the essence of space itself shaking apart and the beleaguered Streaker, captained by Dr. Gillian Baski n, trying to outrun a Jophurian battleship that seeks to destroy it. Rescue comes in the unlikely form of a wormhole that delivers the Streaker to the Old Ones, the godlike beings responsible for nurturing sentient life throu ghout the Five Galaxies and for inaugurating the UpLift process. While Bask in and her crew fear that the Old Ones are offering them "the embrace of gr avitational tides," an interplanetary form of comfortable retirement, they learn that in fact they have been selected for a very special purpose: to j ourney to remote space, where the missing eight of the original Thirteen Ci vilized Galaxies wait to be contacted. Tension builds and builds?and then s tumbles to a stop. Brin fans will find plenty to gorge themselves on here, including Niss Machines, Galactic Library cubes and Zang ship-entities.

Brin, David Heaven's Reach
Spectra May 11, 1999 0-553-57473-6 / 9780553574739 Paperback Very Good+
Heaven's Reach is the final volume of the Uplift trilogy, which begins in B rightness Reef and continues in Infinity's Shore. It chronicles the adventu res of a handful of primitives from the planet Jijo who have left or been t aken from their homes only to be swept into the intrigues of galactic polit ics. The novel also continues the story of the fugitive Earth starship Stre aker, pursued across the galaxy for its precious cargo of ancient artifacts . Just when it looks like things can't get worse for Streaker, the foretold Time of Changes rocks the galaxy. Devastating "space quakes" shake every p lanet and star, and some of the particularly unscrupulous alien races attem pt to use the disaster to further their bizarre goals. There's danger and e xcitement on almost every page (in contrast to much of the first two books in the series) and Brin finally delivers on many of the mysteries of the Fi ve Galaxies. The Progenitors, the Hydrogen Breathers, Streaker's cargo--the se and more are explained at last. Or are they? Each seemingly ultimate tru th tends to dissolve a chapter later, revealing a new and more complex trut h. New adventures and mysteries await.

Brin, David Kiln People
Tor Science Fiction January 7, 2003 0-7653-4261-8 / 9780765342614 Paperback Very Good
Just about everyone's had a day when they've wished it were possible to sen d an alternate self to take care of unpleasant or tedious errands while the real self takes it easy. In Kiln People, David Brin's sci-fi-meets-noir no vel, this wish has come true. In Brin's imagined future, folks are able to make inexpensive, disposable clay copies of themselves. These golems or "di ttos" live for a single day to serve their creator, who can then choose whe ther or not to "inload" the memories of the ditto's brief life. But private investigator Albert Morris gets more than he, or his "ditective" copies, b argain for when he signs on to help solve the mysterious disappearance of U niversal Kilns' co-founder Yasil Maharal--the father of dittotech. Brin successfully interweaves plot lines as numerous as our hero's ditectives and doggedly sticks to the rules of his created dittotech while Morris's "realflesh" and clay manifestations slowly unravel the dangerous secret behind Maharal's disappearance. As Brin juggles his multiple protagonists and antagonists, he urges the reader to question notions of memory, individualism, and technology, and to answer the schizoid question "which 'you' is 'you?'" Brin's enjoyment is evident as he plays with his terracotta creations' existential angst and simultaneously deconstructs the familiar streetwise detective meme--complete with a multilayered ending. Overall, Kiln People is a fun read, with a good balance of hard science fiction and pop sensibility.
