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:
“till seven years were gane and past,
True Thomas on earth was never seen.”
—Unknown. Thomas the Rhymer (l. 79–80)
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
