Infinity's Shore (The Uplift Saga, Book 5)
by
David Brin
Amazon Description:
This second volume in David Brin's new Uplift trilogy is an epic tale that artfully combines dozens of unique characters and their individual stories. The planet Jijo, which has been settled by six separate races despite a decree that it remain barren for a million years, is about to change. The exploration ship Streaker, on the run since discovering the secrets of a two-billion-year-old derelict fleet, has arrived with virtually the entire universe in pursuit. Overnight the peaceful, technologically backwards Jijoan society erupts into civil war, creating a chaotic tapestry of grief, sorrow, joy, love and, ultimately, hope.

It has been a long time since I read this book but I still have a great feeling thinking about the ideas and characters in this book. The main human character is someone I identify with, and the different creatures are wonderful to get to know. This was the second Brin book I read and it hooked me for life. Brin is amazing for character development and putting his characters in interesting moral dilemmas.
I've read this whole saga, but this is by far the best in the series.
