I have to agree with the rave review of "Startide Rising".  I picked it
up solely on the basis of previous positive reviews I saw on the net;
I don't regret it at all.  As soon as I finished it, I went out and picked
up his other book, "Sundiver".  It wasn't nearly as good a book in many
respects, but the worst part was that I felt I was starting at the second
book of a series.  ("Startide Rising" and "Sundiver" are set in the same
universe, but do not share any characters.)  Were there previous works
involving the characters from "Sundiver"?
