does anyone remeber what the gas giant hydrogen breathers were like in the David Brin books (uplift/startide/sundiver)? i dont, but i remember he had 'em.
Brin doesn't say too much about the sun creatures in Sundiver (and nothing at all in uplift/startide, IIRC). At the time of Sundiver, I don't think humanity knew much about the sun creatures and was just establishing contact.
In Brin's second series (Heaven's Reach), there is more discussion about gas breathers, but they aren't Sun-based, just gas giant-based. Those gas breathers were amophous globules with a very different, image-based (?) thought and communication processes.
