Kurzbeschreibung
No species has ever reached for the stars without the guidance of a patron--except perhaps mankind. Did some mysterious race begin the uplift of humanity aeons ago? Circling the sun, under the caverns of Mercury, Expedition Sundiver prepares for the most momentous voyage in history--a journey into the boiling inferno of the sun.

I thought this was an above average Science fiction novel, but I only gave it 3 stars because I've read all the other Uplift novels, and have something to compare it to. All I can really say is, don't make this your first Brin book, or you might not become as absorbed in his writing as you could. Read Startide Rising first, and then go back in time to Sundiver. The first 3 Uplift books aren't really a trilogy, so the sequence doesn't matter. If you've read Brin's 'Practice Effect'(A non-Uplift story, or is it?) and this book, you can appreciate his 'grand-scheme humor' with the Vanilla Needle. And for those people that reviewed this book and "heard his others were better" yes they are. Do yourself a favor and go buy Startide.

I started reading this book with a lot of expectations. I got the impression it's going to be one of the best books I'm ever going to read. (Did it win a Hugo? I'm not sure, but it might have had). The world David Brin created was fascinating, but the story was just SO BORING... I kept waiting for something exciting to happen - but nothing! I managed to finish the book, only to decide I'm never going to read the sequals. Although many reviewers said that this is the weakest book in the series, so maybe I should give him a second chance. His short stories book was superb, in my opinion. Anyway, to summarize - so-so, in my opinion. If you heard good things about the next books - I guess this should be worth reading. but if you have a list of good books, and you're just trying to decide which one to read? Wait with this one

This book is considered the first of Brin's first Uplift Trilogy, but it is really a stand-alone novel, set far apart in setting, plot, and style from _Startide Rising_ and the _Uplift War_. That said, it is in this book that Brin first introduces the readers to the universe that will be developed more fully in his later works-- and what a fascinating universe it is! Humans 'uplifting' dolphins and chimps to a sapience equal to our own, religious/intellectual/political conflict on earth between those who believe that humanity evolved and those who believe that an alien race uplifted us long ago only to abandon us, a vaguely unsettling futuristic social structure where humans are divided into full citizens with rights and 'probationers' without, and of course, a billion-year-old shared culture of galactic races into which earth's young, self-taught, human culture seems to have rudely and unpreparedly been thrust. It's great stuff... but the problem here is the story. What starts off as a kind of sci-fi quest to fly on a 'sunship' into the sun to see if the 'ghosts' that have been reported there might be the lost patron aliens who once uplifted humanity evolves into a murder/sabatoge mystery. That's fine by me, but the 'whodunnit' part of the mystery just doesn't work very well in my book. For the most part, it seems rather convoluted involving aspects of sci-fi physics and alien politics that the reader is not sufficiently introduced to in advance. Even worse is the fact that the entire novel is told from the perspective of a single protagonist-- except for one chapter early on-- in which the reader witnesses a conversation that... well, it doesn't really reveal the *whole* of the whodunnit part of the mystery per se, but it gives you too good of an idea of at least one of the key figures involved. That just strikes me as a storytelling mistake that ought to have been avoided. All in all, this is a decent book, but it's more interesting for the ideas that will come to full bloom in Brin's later uplift books, than for the story itself.

Worthwhile but mildly disappointing.
A solid, original and interesting work of science fiction, Sundiver has the important elements of good science fiction: a convincing future, a story filled with wonder, and... Lesen Sie weiter...

A vivid imagination has Mr. Brin
This is the second book by David Brin that I've read. The first, which got me loving his writing, was The Postman. Lesen Sie weiter...

Twice was enough
I read this book twice, and I might read it again in the future. As an introduction to the uplift universe leaves a lot to be said. Lesen Sie weiter...

Got some good stuff here, man.
The first in the Earthclan books. For some reason, I really like the entire concept of the universe Brin made here. Lesen Sie weiter...

Slow paced.
"Sundiver" is the second 'Uplift' novel I've read by David Brin. Because he must explain the basic premise of 'Uplift' in order to have each novel stand on its own, "Sundiver" was... Lesen Sie weiter...

Au contraire, read this BEFORE Startide
Don't get me wrong, good old "Startide Rising" is the centerpiece of the Uplift novels. If the idea of "uplift" makes perfect sense to you right away, then... Lesen Sie weiter...

Read this *AFTER* Startide Rising
This book is by far the weekest of all of the Uplift books. You may be too disapointed to read his other *BRILLIANT* novels. Lesen Sie weiter...

amazing ideas in a somewhat well written book
I found this whole series to be very engrossing, with the entire idea of the uplift society to be a great background for a sf series. Lesen Sie weiter...

Book one in a unique trilogy
I found Sundiver after experiencing Star Tide Rising a year or so before. What struck me most about this book is it's ability to stand alone, as each book in this series is able... Lesen Sie weiter...

Uplift - brilliant idea
This book touches on an idea so unique that the fact that it leaves you with so many questions doesn't matter. Can't wait to finish the series.
