| Plot Summary of Sundiver - Uplift Saga 1 |
|---|
"Jacob Demwa, a former investigator who lost his wife on his last job, has been persuaded by a friend to look into some strange happenings on the Sundiver project - a research project aimed at our own sun. He finds a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and conspiracy, and must act to preserve Earth's interests and his own."
Ivy, Resident Scholar

"A man still suffering, emotionally, after the death of his wife joins a new mission entering the sun. He finds a journey, not only of self discovery and enlightenment, but of nefarious dealings in mankinds projects.
The real beauty of this book is in the way it seamlessly blends these two themes"
Andy Banks, Resident Scholar
