No species has ever reached for the stars without the guidance of a patron--except perhaps mankind. Did some mysterious race begin the uplift of humanity aeons ago?

Reviews
Okay, maybe I'm stupid, or maybe I just don't have the patience anymore. I *really* tried but the writing was just too dense, and reading it felt like I was busting my butt in return for a miniscule reward. This isn't the first of David Brin's novels I've tried to read. I saw him at a World Con once he was a very nice man. But the only novel of his I managed to get through was The Postman, possibly because I'd seen the movie which I liked, BTW. Unless you're really into hard and I mean HARD sci-fi, don't go near this book. I can't recommend it. Reading shouldn't be this much work!
