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. 作者：艾薩克·阿西莫夫（1920-1992）俄裔美籍作家，被全世界的讀者譽為“神一樣的人”；美國政府授予他“國家的資源與自然的奇蹟”這個獨一無二的稱號，以表彰他在“拓展人類想像力”上做出的傑出貢獻。阿西莫夫是一個全知全能的作家，其著作幾乎覆蓋人類生活的一切方面，上天下海、古往今來、從恐龍到亞原子到全宇宙無所不包，從通俗小說到羅馬帝國史，從科普讀物到遠東千年歷史，從聖經指南，到科學指南，到兩性生活指南，每一部著作都樸實、嚴謹而又充滿幽默風趣的格調，為了盡情發揮自己詼諧搞笑的天賦，他甚至還寫過一本《笑話集》。到了晚年，他開始變得“好色”，出版了一系列兩性話題的“黃
