I wasn't going to raise the sequels -- I think that even
considered on its own merits, Startide Rising hasn't fared
as well as (sequel-free) Blood Music.

NB: I may be biased on this -- I was just asked to write an
intro for a new German translation of Blood Music, so of
course had to re-read it for the first time in some years.
(And was blown off my feet by how well it holds up.)
