5.0 out of 5 stars Great suspense and mystery to rival Robots of Dawn., Mar 10 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Currents of Space (Mass Market Paperback)

This is not one of his best known books, and I knew nothing about it when I read it. But almost immediately I knew I'd enjoy this one. The momentum builds steadily, and the reader soon becomes as paranoid and unsure of reality as Rik, who tries to discover his true identity, erased at an early age by unknown persons for unknown reasons. Events repeatedly prove to be other than they appear. When it was all over I desperately wanted to read another one like this. Unfortunately very few can compete with the intense suspense of this one. Robots of Dawn accomplished it, but at a slower pace. This book is shorter and moves faster but still manages the same joyous effect. Just like events in the story, this book is much more than it seems. I was lucky to have stumbled upon it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Asimov novel a terrific read, July 1 2010

This review is from: The Currents of Space (Hardcover)

This handsome Tor Books reissue of Asimov's third novel, first published in 1952, is a fast-moving tale of political intrigue, sharpened by a measure of social commentary. The Currents of Space is still a terrific read, and it's good to see The Good Doctor's early novels reissued again in these attractive new editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Adventure, July 2 2004

This review is from: The Currents of Space (Mass Market Paperback)

This is easily the best of the three "Empire Novels". In fact, I found this story to be better than those from Asimov's more famous Foundation Trilogy. I enjoyed the Townman character, especially when he posed as a "Patroller".
