Down in the eternal spring of the planet  however  the native Florinians labor ceaselessly to produce the precious kyrt that brings prosperity to their Sarkite masters.  Rebellion is unthinkable and impossible. Not only do the Florinians no longer have a concept of freedom  any disruption of the vital kyrt trade would cause other planets to rise in protest  ultimately destabilizing trade and resulting in a galactic war. So the Trantorian Empire  whose grand plan is to unite all humanity in peace  prosperity  and freedom  has stood aside and allowed the oppression to continue. Living among the workers of Florinia  Rik is a man without a memory or a past. He has been abducted and brainwashed. Barely able to speak or care for himself when he was found  Rik is widely regarded as a simpleton by the worker community where he lives. But as his memories begin to return  Rik finds himself driven by a cryptic message he is determined to deliver: Everyone on Florinia is doomed . . . the Currents of Space are bringing destruction. But if the planet is evacuated  the power of Sark will end--so some would finish the job and would kill the messenger. The fate of the Galaxy hangs in the balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966762807349,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765319160","price":88.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765319166.jpg?v=1770578838","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-currents-of-space","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
