 For those who have read David Brin

I need your opinions...

I just read both Startide Rising and Uplift War. So far the series is mediocre. Should I ready the last three or not?

Also, what's your favorite SF author. I find I compare almost all SF to Isaac Asimov's Foundation series... which is genius!

I'd say no. Personally I think he's over-rated. He's also something of an ego-maniac.

My fav is C.J. Cherryh (her space books, mostly, like Downbelow Station, the Foreigner series). Have you read Greg Benford? Are you more into "hard sf" (tech based stuff), cyberpunk, what?

I like SF that is epic in scope. I've ready some tech based like Harrington series, etc. Not bad.

I just read Mutineer?s Moon, partly because it's free on Baen Books, and I really enjoyed it. Definitely like the stories that involve entire "empires" or "galaxies" - Big picture types.
