Brin was one of the better SF writers of the late 20th Century. He seems to have largely dropped off the radar, though.

Talk about desparate to keep the budget going ...
Old-timers of Lockheed’s Skunk Works, know that sound is the screech that the 5kW Koehler generator makes in Building 3 at Area 57 (wink).
They know that the Voyagers ran out of juice, when their on-board computers both burned up trying to play a game of chess with each other!

I had to chuckle when 95% of the audience who stayed for the post-credits scene saw Thanos and thought, "Um...who's that supposed to be?"

After running the digital recording through a Morgusatronic Stabilizer, the unencrypted message read, “Klaatu, Barada, Nikto”.

Actually this is all due to a spelling error and should
have read, “NASA hears SHREK in interstellar space.”

17 hours? No. More like 17 minutes (still impressive).

The Dosadi Experiment. As we get loose the universe cries in terror.

I find this wraithlike shriek to be disconcerting. I mean, what’s up with that? Yikes!

Now THAT was funny!
Our first adventure into the hinterland of deep space, and we make roadkill of a poor, innocent tribble.
Lets hope the intergalactic green weenies don’t take revenge.
I envision a WAY big spaceship showing up in DC, and a “Day the Earth Stood Still” robot reading us the riot act.
“Hey, Yo! Carbon Life Forms, you just did a hit an run on a protected intergalactic species! That crap’s gonna cost ya!”
First meeting with aliens gone way bad.
I’ll stop now, my brain cells just went on a voyage.

Yep, that “salt vampire” scene did include an epic Shatner scream. Chekov seems to have a more piercing scream, though. The probe probably picked up one of those scenes where he’s strapped down to a sickbay bed, writhing in pain.
