THE CURRENTS OF SPACE
by Isaac Asimov
An earthman's mind is turned off and its slow return, on the planet Florinda, sets in motion the activities of Townman Myrlyn Terens, the espionage systems of Sark and Trantor, and the conclaves of the Squires. For Rik turns out to be the spatio-analyst the Interstellar Bureau is hunting and his widening memory the key to galactial conspiracies and future destruction. Way off in the wild blue yonder — for the faithful.
