David Brins Uplift Universe Novels.

Short intro from Wikipedia, because it says everything way better as i can

In the Uplift universe an intergalactic civilization called the Five Galaxies, comprising a multitude of sentient races, has existed for billions of years. This civilization is perpetuated by the act of Uplift, in which a "patron" species genetically modifies a non-sapient "client" species until it is sapient. The client species is typically indentured to its patron species for 100,000 years. Patron status can be lost due to extermination, or gross crimes against the galactic civilization.

It is generally accepted in this universe that the process of Uplift was initiated at least one billion years ago by a species known only as the Progenitors. Humanity is therefore a rare anomaly – a species with no apparent patron race.

This has made most other races to horrific enemies of humanity because they think even the thaught of not having a patron race is herecy.

I'm not much of a reader, I wish I read more, but for what I have read I love Douglas Adams stuff i.e. Hitchhickers guide to the Galaxy etc.

If I had one book to recommend I'd say - "The Damage Done" by Warren Fellows, if you can get hold of a copy have a read, it's quite amazing.

My favourite books/series:

- The Lord of the Rings, by Tolkien
- A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin (the only thing that's truly rivaled LOTR for me)
- Foundation Series, by Isaac Asimov
- Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling, duh
- The Horus Heresy, by various Warhammer 40K authors

Personally, I love books that have a 'love' concept to it, probably helps me with my fanfic writing actually.
Here's my fav books :

The Golden Compass (Better than the movie, this is aimed at adults) - Phillip Pullman
The Amber Spyglass - Phillip Pullman
The Subtle Knife - Phillip Pullman

Has anyone read:

- The swarm (Frank Schätzing)

I highly recommend it:
"While the story unfolds the novel touches various topics, including the destruction and poisoning of the maritime ecosystems on earth, the importance of the sea for humanity and the coexistence of different species. The book also remarks on the human inability to thoroughly understand "alien" life; it speculates on the philosophical and religious consequence that the discovery of another sentient species on earth may have. The novel borrows some ideas from the Gaia Theory. It hits on the notion that mankind's activities have created conditions that begin to affect a delicate equilibrium of biotic and abiotic conditions that have fostered and sustained complex life forms and ecosystems."

I absolutely loved this trilogy. I read it in like a few days, because I was so excited. I love the concept of "daemons", I think the idea is almost as awesome as Tsahaylu.
