Heaven's Reach is the third novel in the Uplift Storm series by David Brin. Like the first two, it follows the adventures of the Terran scout ship, Streaker. This novel, though, features more alternate storylines than its predecessors, tracking not only the humans, but the Jijoan exiles as they re-enter mainstream Galactic society, the chimpanzee hyperspace scout Harry Harms, the plant-like Jophur as they chase the humans, and the humans hiding on the Jophur ship. The Uplift Universe is a fictional universe created by Science fiction writer David Brin. ... A recent picture of David Brin. ...

The book takes the Streakers off of the planet Jijo and back in space. Still trying to reach Earth, they come into contact with hydrogen breathers, the Retired Order of Life, machine beings, and the Trancesdent Order of Life before limping back to Earth with one trick left to play.
