The Currents of Space Audiobook

" I'm reading Asimov according to his own published reading list. It's quite a jump between Robots & Empire and this according to the story chronology, and also a big jump back in time according to publication date chronology. It's interesting how one somewhat unexplained fact, like Earth being radioactive, could be woven so tightly into a story written after, but set earlier than this one. This has been something I've noted about many sci-fi series before. If I ever write anything, I'll be sire to include some big plot element that is never explained, so that I may write stories chronologically earlier that give depth to chronologically later stories already written. "

" Classic Asimov. Written in the same universe as the Foundation Trilogy... Trantor, myths of Earth, the origin of Humanity. This is a thrilling murder mystery with all the best elements of classic Sci-Fi. And, it's a quick read! "

" The story was better than The Stars, Like Dust, but I'd still recommend other Asimov "

" The story take place on the word of Florinia, the only source in the universe of precious kyrt. The inhabitant are subjugated and kept in ignorance by the Sarkite. Things start to change when a scientist is found on Sark with his memories wiped because dangerous for the universe balance. Asimov wrote some extraordinary books, as well as some so-and-so ones. This book sits in the middle. It is well-written and quite entertaining, but it is not as memorable or powerful as others like pebble in the sky. "

" This is classic Science Fiction from the early 50's. And yet, it raises issues of skin color and class attitudes. "

" One of Asimov's earliest novels, it still holds up pretty well. It's the story of one planet being enslaved by another and the attempts of the slaves to break free. "

" Over half a century later and Asimov's novels still hold up. What's more, they still have things to teach us. "

" Great book!Now I have only to read the stars like dust to complete the Galactic Empire series.I love Asimov.Now I am curious to know if currents of space really exist.Such an interesting concept. "

" When I finished this, I was surprised to see it was written in 1952, and not later. That might be because I'm not a scientist. But I do feel Asmiov has a truly timeless quality to his writing, particularly in his understanding of people. "

" Not much better "

" A little Phantom Menacy with its lack of a protagonist. The constant introduction of new characters throughout the book got a little old. "

" Better than "The Stars, Like Dust", but then it couldn't help but be better than that one. At least he refrained from a cheesy ending. Continuing my march through Asimov's Foundation universe. Haven't read three of the remaining nine..."Pebble in the Sky" being one of the three and next... "

" Amazing. I thought the book a new releases, finished it noting all the parallels to current events, then found it was written in 1952. "

" The Currents of Space by Isaac Asimov (2009) "

" This is a mystery story disguised as a thriller. Or rather, it's a thriller with a mystery-style resolution. In my opinion, it wasn't done very well. I like Asimov a lot, but this is one of his weaker books. "

" Grade B+. Also read 1978, grade B. Book Ge1, Fh6. "

" This book was good, but I didn't find the plot twists convincing or the writing very compelling. "

" Good science fiction. Written nearly sixty years ago, but not terribly dated.<br/> "

" Typical of Isaac Asimovwell paced but not fast.Characters that evoke thought.A plot that surprises you. Well worth reading. "

" Merely okay. The three major story arcs really didn't work for me. "

" Typical battle between the corrupt powers of the ruling class and their power over the workers set in another world. Well told by Asimov. "

" con asimov si va sul sicuro, la scrittura coinvolgente e lo stile suadente non tradiscono mai le aspettative. è un classico che piace anche a chi, come me, storce il naso con la fantascienza. la sua qualità sovrasta il concetto stesso di genere. "

" The book is basically a spy thriller set in space, but Asimov works a little civil rights commentary into it as well. "

" I caught a cold while reading this so I had to take a break from it for a few weeks, so it took longer to read than I'd hoped. That aside, I liked the book and enjoyed reading it. The whodunit twist was a total surprise to me! "

" Not great, but not bad. Nothing new to me but maybe it was ground-breaking back in the day. "
