Zombiedation by Isaac Drummondov
As one does, I decided that Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction series “Foundation” would benefit from added zombies. What do you think?
Zombiedation
The first volume in Issac Drummondov’s world-famous saga, winner of the Hugo Award for Best All-Time Novel Series.
Long after Earth was forgotten, a peaceful and unified galaxy took shape, an Empire governed from the majestic city-planet of Trantor. The system worked, and grew, for countless generations. Everyone believed it would work forever. Everyone except Hari Seldon.
As the great scientific thinker of his age, Seldon could not be ignored. Reluctantly, the Commission of Public Safety agreed to finance the Seldon Plan. The coming disaster was predicted by Seldon’s advances in biological warfare, the study of using pathogens as weapons, and it could not be averted. The Empire was doomed to zombiefication. Soon Trantor would lie in ruins. Zombies would overtake humanity. But the Seldon Plan was a long-term strategy to minimize the worst of what was to come.
Two Foundations were set up at opposite ends of the galaxy. Of the Second nothing can be told. It guards the secrets of pathology. ZOMBIEDATION is the story of the First Foundation, on the remote planet of Terminus, from which those secrets were withheld.
Zombiedation And Empire
The Seldon Plan guided the First Foundation safely through two centuries of chaos as the Galactic Empire disintegrated. Seldon’s recorded holographic image appeared in the Council Chamber on Terminus at moments of crisis predicted by pathology, and his voice was heard. Even war between the Foundation and the zombiefied remains of the Empire was foreseen – and planned for – by the great scientist.
But Seldon had no way of predicting the birth of the Tank, a mutant of uncanny power and unlimited ambition. The Tank’s conquests are effortless and his subjects slaves.
The Foundation is powerless against the supernormal might the Tank exerts. The Seldon Plan is in tatters. Two men and a woman from Terminus flee to the ruins of the mighty Trantor in an effort to discover where the mysterious Second Foundation was established. Its help is needed desperately against the physical force of the Tank. But the Tank, using those same astonishing powers, is also looking for the Second Foundation.
ZOMBIEDATION AND EMPIRE is the story of the first contact between the two Foundations of Hari Seldon.
Second Zombiedation
One man understood the shifting patterns of the inhabited cosmos. This was Hari Seldon, the last great scientist of the First Empire. The study of pathology enabled Seldon to predict the Empire would all turn into zombies. To restore civilization in the shortest possible time, Seldon set up two Foundations.
The First was established on Terminus in the full daylight of publicity. But the Second, ‘at the other end of the galaxy’, took shape behind a veil of total silence. Because the Second Foundation guards the laws of pathology, which are valid only so long as there aren’t zombies.
When the First Foundation was conquered by a force Seldon had not foreseen – the overwhelming power of a single individual, a mutant called the Tank – the Second Foundation was forced to reveal its existence and, infinitely worse, a portion of its power. But so far its location, its most closely guarded secret of all, has been kept hidden. So far. The Tank and the remnants of the First Foundation will do anything to discover it.
This is the story of the Second Foundation.
The end
To spoil the ending, it turns out that the Second Foundation has succumbed to the zombie virus. Thus when they meet with the First Foundation, they have a feast and everyone dies.
Apologies to the memory of Isaac Asimov for really pissing all over his work. This is really awful stuff!
