The Currents of Space Audiobook, by Isaac Asimov, read by Kevin Collins -
Rik is a man without a past, who wakes up on the planet Florina with a vague sense of doom. He soon learns that he is a spatio-analyst, a rare and gifted individual who can detect the currents of space that flow between the stars. He also learns that he has made a terrible discovery: Florina, the world that produces the precious kyrt cloth, is doomed to be destroyed by a stellar flare. Rik must find a way to warn the people of Florina, who are oppressed by the Sarkites, the rulers of the nearby planet Sark. But he is hunted by enemies from all sides: the Sarkites, who want to silence him; the Florinians, who distrust him; and the Trantorian agents, who want to use him for their own purposes. Rik must also recover his lost memory, which holds the key to his identity and his mission. Along the way, he meets Valona, a brave and loyal Florinian girl who helps him escape; Samia, a beautiful and ambitious Sarkite lady who loves him; and Lepold, a young and naive Sarkite prince who befriends him. Rik’s journey leads him to uncover the secrets of Florina’s history, the origin of kyrt, and the fate of the Galactic Empire.
