1278.0. "Any new Uplift novels?" by RHETT::MOORE () Wed Jun 28 1995 15:11

    Has David Brin ever published a new Uplift novel (besides Sundiver,
    Startide Rising, and The Uplift War)?  If not, are there any rumours
    about when he might?
    
    Thanks,
    Martin

	He is supposedly working on the sequel to Startide Rising, which has a working title of "Brightness Reef". No idea of when it might be expected though... PeterT

	Brightness Reef, the next Uplift novel is already out in hardcover. Don't know when the paperback will be out. -Eric

	I chanced on Brightness Reef on web first, on the Future Fantasy Bookstore homepage. And then saw it in the bookstore. I doubt it's been out for much more than a month, so I'd expect paperback might be towards next spring/summer. Glancing through it, it didn't immediately seem to be apparent that it was what I'd heard it would be about, mainly following the further adventures of the crew of the Streaker (that was the name of the downed starship in Startide Rising, wasn't it?) It seems more a whole new setting on a planet that had collected a number of drifter races. Didn't have the cash to pick it up outright, but I talked to the local library to try to get them to pick it up. PeterT url for Future Fantasy is http://futfan.com/home.html

	re .3 Just curious but does "streaker" mean the same in American as it does in Australian? (-:

	re: Streaker. Well, if you're thinking of someone who strips off their clothes and runs around for the shock effect, nah ;-) PeterT

	re .5 I see. An attractive Streaker can be very Uplifting. ;-)
