The Uplift War is a 1987 science fiction novel by David Brin and the third book of six set in his Uplift Universe.
The planet Garth has been invaded by the longtime Patron race known as the Gubru. The avian Gubru arrived on Garth to learn more about the discovery the human spaceship Streaker made in Startide Rising regarding the Progenitors, the first known sentient race. Failing that, the Gubru seek to disrupt the progress humans have made in fixing Garth's devastation.
The Gubru have also heard that a new species on Garth is almost ready to become uplifted, and they look to become the patrons (sponsors) of this species. However, it becomes a problem finding out just who or what the Garthlings are. Opposing the Gubru's effort is one human (whose race views the patron-client relationship as so much slavery) and assorted neo (uplifted)-chimps.
