New Uplift Universe question....
I've got a question that I think about when I think of Brin. He hasn't written a regular novel since Kiln People, which was about 6 years ago...and his last graphic novel was a year after that. Is it fair to say that, while he will continue to write short fiction, the probability of a new novel is exponentially decaying, or will there be new novels?

Dan M. ___ _http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com_ (http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com) You mean Uplift novels. Dr. Brin is in the marketing stage for his new close (to present) future history. Personally, I've done everything I can to try to kick him back into Uplift mode. Nothing has worked. (There was a note somewhere that he has a humor Uplift short story in the works.) A return to Jijo was his original intention, as mentioned in the revised issue of GURPS Uplift. I don't think that's still valid. Fans want a return to the main civilization. So what next? The obvious desire of every reader is to see Gill and Tom together again. Not yet, I think. At least not in just one novel. That'd be advancing too far too quickly. And there are several novel ideas that don't even advance in time. The Brothers of the Night on Calafia. The true history of how we got Calafia. The Hoon escape of 2000 years ago. And my favorite: Earth from the Garthling Uplift Ceremony to Streaker's arrival. Now for someone who's looking for hints as to what will happen after Streaker's return, go reread Contacting Aliens. Too much detail was given away there if one actually goes looking for it. And I've suggested to Dr. Brin a novel based upon the Rousit. Anybody remember the Rousit? They got left out of Contacting Aliens.

I'd love to find out what happened to Tom, Toshio, Dennie, Keepiru, etc. I remember reading the short story Lung Fish and thinking that the crew of the lifeboat might end up finding a dilapidated outpost of a robotic civilization, even before machine intelligences were mentioned in the uplift books. - Original Message - From: medieva...@aol.com To: brin-l@mccmedia.com Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2009 11:49 AM Subject: Re: New Uplift Universe question You mean Uplift novels.
