About this audiobook
One man against the basic energy of the universe, unleashed in ravening fury that was “Storm” Cloud. Unique was the only way to describe him, yet alone in his single-handed battle. The appalling destructiveness of a loose atomic vortex could be canceled out only by destroying the vortex itself. While not even the most massive and modern of electronic computers could figure out how to destroy a loose vortex, “Storm” Cloud could and did. To Galactic Civilization, the loose vortices were just one menace among many. It was “Storm's” unique brain, itself a computer with fantastic powers that enabled him to select and direct a duodecaplylatomate bomb with exactly the right energy to snuff each vortex out of existence. The day a runaway vortex exploded in his home was the day “Storm” Cloud became the Vortex Blaster!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5You have to really like this sort of sci-fi in order to get through this book. It is disorganized, has too many extraneous characters, too many useless subplots, and a bit too much 50s misogyny for most new century readers. It may have worked as a short story.
However, if you couldn't get enough of the infamous lensman books (which have the same problems, and are set in the same future world) then this is the book for you.
