Notable works include:
- Sundiver
- Startide Rising
- The Uplift War
- The Uplift Trilogy
- - Brightness Reef
- - Infinity's Shore
- - Heaven's Reach
- The Practice Effect
- The Postman
- Heart of the Comet
- Earth
- Glory Season
- Kiln People
I strongly recommend Kiln People. On the other hand, Heart of the Comet should be avoided.
Seconding kiln people. Ambivalent about the comet, it's not very realistic (understatement) but you can still enjoy it in a fantasyish way.
What bugged me about that novel was the way the people acted... I just don't see a spaceship crew falling apart to the point of group-on-group warfare like that...
In particular, the first three titles are - unusually - in increasing order of quality, so if you tried Sundiver and it didn't blow you away, try Startide Rising and/or The Uplift War anyway.
