Two outcast scientists discover a source of power that allows them to do lots of different things. However, the head of the current power monopoly learns of this and, of course, can not allow that discovery to get into anyone's hands. Thus begins a fight between the two groups of people: the man who owns it all and sees himself as a benevolent dictator, and the men who see energy as a right for everyone so that they can determine for themselves how to live. This story is a great bit of sci-fi wrapped up with a moral message. It does call to mind the oil issues currently faced on our little world. The reader did an excellent job. The recordings are likewise excellent. Thanks!

A solid space adventure with scientists both good and bad in the eternal battle to prevail through technological superiority in order to save mankind. But, it's Kevin Green's sublime narration that elevates this book. Second book I've listened to read by him. I am now only looking for book narrated by him. Wonderful work Kevin.

a very good listen.

loved it. the amount of effort that went into attempting to explain the science is commendable. the characters are well enough developed, but no significant female characters.

great reading, fun story

Okay, this is the usual style of preposterous fine science-fiction of old. New inventions and scientific breakthroughs happen at such an incredible pace. You can’t keep track of them all. The good guys are really good. The bad guys are really bad. But it’s a really good lesson and the reader doesn’t excellent job.

This power fantasy will keep your slide rules clacking.

A fun space opera in which the storage and transfer of power is both the literal and figurative point of the novel. plus some fun with why-not physics and you get a great space drama with everything but the fainting farmer's daughter. Beautifully read, bravo!

Great story, even if a little cheeky by today's science. the reader was as always, easy to listen to and spun the story with an web that captures you from the start. Easily recommended.
