The Vortex Blaster by E. E. Smith audiobook.
Genre: scifi
In E. E. 'Doc' Smith's classic space opera, brilliant nuclear engineer Neal 'Storm' Cloud lives in the shadow of failure: he flunked the Lensman exam, missing his chance to join Civilization's most celebrated defenders. But when lethal, self-sustaining atomic vortices begin to appear - churning knots of star-like energy that grow as they consume anything they touch - Cloud's rare gift for lightning-fast calculation becomes humanity's best hope. After a personal catastrophe turns research into obsession, he devises a way to strike a vortex at the exact instant and location needed to snuff it out rather than shatter it into even deadlier fragments. Suddenly Cloud is the one specialist the Galactic Patrol cannot replace, dispatched from world to world in a small ship, extinguishing cosmic firestorms while navigating smugglers, gangsters, and volatile planetary politics. As the Patrol pushes him to scale his work and uncover the true nature of the vortices, Cloud is drawn into an intense collaboration with computer expert Joan Janowick, where science, risk, and rebuilding a shattered life collide. Fast, inventive, and emotionally charged, The Vortex Blaster pits raw intellect and courage against disasters no weapon can simply shoot down.
