Each ship is the size of a small moon, and before being abandoned they were arranged in the shape of a star cluster. While exploring interstellar space, the crew finds a fleet of abandoned spaceships. Set in the year 2489 C.E., Startide Rising follows the crew of the Streaker, an intergalactic spaceship crewed by 150 uplifted dolphins and seven humans. Startide Rising is primarily concerned with neo-dolphins. Some of the species that have been uplifted include neo-chimpanzees, neo-gorillas, neo-dogs, and neo-dolphins. All the novels in the series are set in a distant future in which various species of animals have been imbued by humans with super intelligence using a process call biological uplift. Published in 1983, it is the second book in the Uplift Series, preceded by Sundiver and followed by The Uplift War. Startide Rising is a science fiction novel by David Brin.
