	Well, if you are interested in educated apes and cetaceans, give
The
Probability Broach by L. Neil Smith a try.  Currently, I'm in the middle
of his latest release (or rather re-release) "The Forge of the Elders."
	L. Neil's libertarian style of sci-fi is "polemic" to say the
least. 
However, they are quite humorous, filled with satire and action, and
have some far out technology.
