seanfarrell 's review for:

Sundiver by David Brin
2.0

Sundiver does not hold up well upon reread. The lead, Jacob, comes off as too much of a Marty Stu and the women are all fairly one-dimensional and suffer from a serious case of male gaze. Brin has some good ideas in here (uplifted species, traveling to the sun) but this plays out more like a whodunnit in space and I don't think it's worth revisiting with so much excellent science fiction out there.
