Storm Cloud on Deka by E. E. Smith audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In the far-flung Lensman universe, civilization spans the stars and the Galactic Patrol keeps uneasy order, but one terror still devours worlds: self-sustaining atomic vortices, miniature suns of runaway energy that grow as they feed. Neal 'Storm' Cloud is not a celebrated Lensman - he washed out of the exam - yet his uncanny mathematical mind makes him the only specialist trusted to predict, cage, and extinguish these star-hot monsters. When a crisis pulls him to the planet Deka, Storm expects a brutal engineering problem and a ticking clock. Instead, he walks into a web of local power struggles, corruption, and personal danger, where the wrong decision can ignite more than a vortex. As Storm races to keep an entire world from burning, he must navigate suspicious officials, ruthless opportunists, and alliances that shift as fast as Deka's deadly weather. Part catastrophe thriller, part pulp adventure, 'Storm Cloud on Deka' delivers classic E. E. Smith momentum: big science, bigger stakes, and a reluctant hero forced to prove that brilliance alone is not enough when lives, politics, and pride collide.
