The Uplift War is a continuation of the saga of the Five Galaxies. It is a story of courage in the face of impossible odds and loyalty to the vast potential of life.

The chims and humans who call Garth home must rally to its defense by any means possible. They are aided in the revolt by their three Galactic allies, who use their knowledge of the Five Galaxies civilization to the advantage of the Terrans.
This story of mismatched foes in what seems to be a one-sided war is an exciting and thought-provoking consequence of the Streaker's mission, described in Startide Rising.
