Infinity's Shore
Book Two of the Uplift Trilogy
by David BrinThe Neo-Dolphin ship
Streaker has come to Jijo with knowledge of the ancient progenitors, pursued by half of the galaxies sapients species. The first to land there are the Rothen with their human servants, who set about collecting genetic information before releasing viruses to plague the sooners(illegal colonists). Then come the powerful Jophur, pursuing an ancient blood feud, set on wiping out the last of the G'kek. Jijo's future looks grim.
Through this book, we follow numerous individuals, mostly the natives, but also those on the neo-dolphin ship. The plots are many, but most are distinct enough to follow. This is aided by the use of third, first, and second person narratives. Characters' stories are not in any order, although sooners' and Streaker stories are seperated. You can read this story without reading the first novel. Because of the length and detail of this book, reading the third to find the central plot's ending is not urgent.
Happy reading.
