High above the planet
Florinia, the Squires of Sark live in unimaginable wealth and comfort.
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.
