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.

      Rik is an educated man who has a message to deliver: The planet Florina faces imminent destruction. When he delivers his message to those who rely on the precious product created on Florina, he's kidnapped, brainwashed, and left to make his own way among the workers there. Kevin Collins communicates the gravity of the threat to the universe and the failure of those in power to heed it, due to economic interests. Collins uses accents of various types to create characters of different classes, and to show distinctions in the status of those within classes. Collins subtly develops the character of Rik as he's thrust into the midst of political intrigue. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
