Summary
Winner of the Nebula and Hugo Awards, David Brin brings his
bestselling Uplift series to a magnificent conclusion with his
most imaginative and powerful novel to date - the shattering
epic of a universe poised on the brink of revelation... or
annihilation.
The brutal enemy that has relentlessly pursued them for
centuries has arrived. Now the fugitive settlers of Jijo - both
human and alien - brace for a final confrontation. The Jijoans'
only hope is the Earthship Streaker, crewed by uplifted
dolphins and commanded by an untested human.
Yet more than just the fate of Jijo hangs in the balance.
For Streaker carries a cargo of ancient artifacts that may
unlock the secret of those who first brought intelligent life
to the Galaxies. Many believe a dire prophecy has come to pass:
an age of terrifying changes that could end Galactic
civilization.
