Later Years
Ten years later, Joranum's former follower, Gambol Deen Namarti, has re-started the conspiracy under the leadership of Gleb Andorin, planning that he will become Emperor with Andorin as First Minister. Seldon sends Raych to join the Joranumite movement under an alias. But he is recognised and drugged with 'desperance', a drug which increases induces depression and reduces his willpower. He is forced to obey orders.
He is infiltrated into a group of newly-recruited gardeners for the grounds of the Imperial palace, and forced to use a blaster on his father, Hari Seldon.
Manella Dubanqua, an undercover security officer working within the Joranumite organisation, saves Raych by killing Andorin; Raych is saved from having to kill his father.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.”
—Benjamin Franklin (17061790)
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 90:10.
The Book of Common Prayer (1662)
