The Currents of Space

By: Isaac Asimov

Narrated by: Jon Lindstrom

The second book in the Galactic Empire series, the spectacular precursor to the classic Foundation series, by one of history's most influential writers of science fiction, Isaac Asimov

Trantor had extended its rule over half the Galaxy, but the other half defied its authority, defending their corrupt fiefdoms with violence and repression. On the planet Florina, the natives labored as slaves for their arrogant masters on nearby Sark. But now both worlds were hurtling toward a cataclysmic doom, and only one man knew the truth--a slave unaware of the secret knowledge locked inside his own brain.

Rik had once been a prominent scientist until a psychic probe erased all memories of his past. Now he was a humble laborer in the kyrt mills of Florina. Then the memories began to return, bringing with them the terrible truth about the future--a truth that his masters on Sark would kill to keep secret . . . even at the cost of their own survival.

Good story.

Good story a bit too much scientific explanation towards the end. Great narrator. I recommend

it's asimov

probably read the series 3 times going to listen now as it's been several years.

The continuity of the series

This was a great sci-fi book, dated yes, but in the hands of the master.

The entire background

I’m excited to state that I am very happy with listening to this because they give so much more background and understanding now to why two places hated each other

Good twists and turns.

A little hard to distinguish between characters. Interesting future technologies. Nice to learn more about galactic politics.
