Talk about rip-off season. Orson Scott Card wrote the story for this video game, for which he is also writing a novelization. Not a direct duplicate of Uplift, but close ... even the title:
"In Advent Rising, a common legend pervades the galaxy - that of a powerful, ancient race that will one day unite the universe. Millions of cultures from vastly distant worlds revere and hallow these mythological beings.

Thanks Trevor. I'd have thought Card would try to be more circumspect. Ah well. For someone who preaches about honor a lot, he has numerous blind spots...
... as do we all. It's a big world. His successes don't threaten me. Neither does his sourpuss hostility. I wish him well and hope he succeeds big time.
