NOVELS BY DAVID BRIN

FOUNDATION'S TRIUMPH completes the epochal series created by Isaac Asimov,
projecting a continuation of human history 20,000 years into the future.
This venerable series, cherished by millions, has long been an important
part of our 'dinner table conversation about human destiny.' Now, with the
approval of the Asimov estate, Brin ties up all of the clues and loose
ends left by the master when he died, expanding that vision of tomorrow
into new vistas beyond. (See also Foundation's Fear, by Gregory Benford &
Foundation and Chaos, by Greg Bear.) A good supply of signed hardcovers
in stock.

THE POSTMAN. Somewhat famous for the Kevin Costner 1998 film (which was
better than the critics said, but didn't do justice to the book.) Breaking
with past cliches about survival after a collapse of civilization, this book
deals with the ultimate question of what an individual owes to his neighbors,
his civilization, and his own honor. The Postman won several American
Library awards and was runner-up for three separate Hugos. (Only a very 
limited supply of the rare hardcover is available. Also available in signed
paperback.)

THE TRANSPARENT SOCIETY: WILL TECHNOLOGY FORCE US TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
FREEDOM AND PRIVACY? A daring exploration of the roots of freedom and the
power of reciprocal accountability. Available in both signed hardcover and
trade paperback. 

EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATION A book of reprints of scholarly articles
about the search for intelligent life in the universe, edited and annotated
by Thomas Kuiper & David Brin (large format softcover, very rare.)

BRIGHTNESS REEF is the first volume of Brin's UPLIFT STORM TRILOGY, continuing
the adventures of the dolphin+human crewed starship, Streaker. Brightness Reef
begins the story on planet Jijo, where a strange but fascinating group of
races has been hiding from the Civilization of Five Galaxies. Humans plus 5
other species have created a unique culture, but then their seclusion is
shattered by the arrival of criminals from space. (Only a very limited supply
of the rare hardcover is available. Also available in signed paperback.)

INFINITY'S SHORE is the second volume of the UPLIFT STORM TRILOGY. The
desperate inhabitants of Jijo forge an alliance with the fugitive Earthship,
Streaker. (Somewhat rare hardcover edition available.)

HEAVEN'S REACH is the FINAL volume of the UPLIFT STORM TRILOGY. A mixed
crew of Jijo refugees and dolphins, aboard the fugitive Earthship, Streaker
take pell-mell flight across the Five Galaxies... as those galaxies seem about
to be rent apart and the Siege of Earth reaches its dramatic climax. 
(Somewhat rare hardcover edition available. Also available in signed
paperback.)

GLORY SEASON, by David Brin, hardcover 600 pages.  Runner-up for the 1994
Best Novel Hugo. A scientifically solid (and action-packed) exploration of a
world where the rules of human sexuality have been changed, as seen through
the eyes of Maia, a youth who must find her way in a society run mostly 
by and for clone-families of identical women.  Everything on Stratos has
evolved from one simple, plausible change.  Women are capable of giving 
birth to clones of themselves, cutting out the middle men. Only during 
summer are old-fashioned mixed-gene girls like Maia conceived, along with a
small crop of boys.  The pastoral utopia concept is explored sympathetically
and critically, in a tale filled with both intellectual content and rousing
adventure. (Somewhat rare hardcover edition available. Also available in 
signed paperback.)


EARTH (Bantam Books, hardcover, 1990, 600pp) by David Brin is the author's
biggest and most important book, delving into everything from ecology to
computer networks to destiny and the Gaia Hypothesis, all while spinning a
plot around the problem of saving the planet from a truly ultimate and final
type of "pollution." EARTH belongs to that special sub-genre, the 50 year
projection, in which the writer drops all crutches and makes a bold stab 
t actually predicting... if not THE future, then A future which might 
actually come true.

EARTH was runner-up for the 1991 Hugo (by 10 votes out of a thousand)
EARTH also received kudos from the environmental and computer-net
communities, for its depiction of both problems and solutions in a near
tomorrow. This particular hardcover edition is a bargain, since it was 
printed on acid-free recycled paper, and bound with Smith Sewn signatures.
A real book-lovers' book which will last a lifetime. (Also available in 
signed paperback and in a rare leather-bound simultaneous first edition.)
