What bugged me about that novel was the way the people acted… I just don’t see a spaceship crew falling apart to the point of group-on-group warfare like that...
In particular, the first three titles are—unusually—in increasing order of quality, so if you tried Sundiver and it didn’t blow you away, try Startide Rising and/or The Uplift War anyway.

Notable works include:
Sundiver
Startide Rising
The Uplift War
The Uplift Trilogy
Brightness Reef
Infinity’s Shore
Heaven’s Reach
The Practice Effect
The Postman
Heart of the Comet
Earth
Glory Season
Kiln People
I strongly recommend Kiln People. On the other hand, Heart of the Comet should be avoided.
Seconding kiln people. Ambivalent about the comet, it’s not very realistic (understatement) but you can still enjoy it in a fantasyish way.
