Prepare for a harrowing ride through the universe by the New York
Times-bestselling author of Startide Rising and The Postman.
Book Three in the Uplift Storm Trilogy
The peaceful existence of six outcast races on Jijo has ended. Ancient
enemies, the Jophur, have discovered them, preparing to subject the
refugees to their dark, perverted plans.
The Jijoans' only hope is the same ship that accidently led their foes
to the planet. The Earthship Streaker, with its crew of uplifted
dolphins and a human commander, must somehow lure the Jophur into a
chase through space . . . into the unknown. And then into the weird.
More than just the fate of Jijo--or that of distant Earth, also
suffering a deadly siege--hangs in the balance. Some believe a
terrifying prophecy is about to come true, one that involves
Streaker's trove of artifacts coveted by factions throughout all Five
Galaxies. As countless white dwarf stars verge on unexpected explosion,
all sentient life in the universe appears to be at risk unless someone
can save them.
