Repeated assassination attempts drive Seldon from Trantor. (Among the drawbacks: Palace security would detect her true nature as a humaniform robot and have to be circumvented.) And there is formidable opposition most notably in the form of Betan Lamurk, a powerful aristocrat who wants the job of First Minister for himself.īut Cleon is Emperor and determined to have his way in this matter. His wife, Dors Venabili, is also reluctant, because her sole purpose in life is to protect Hari and that would be made harder by his being First Minister. Seldon is reluctant, because he feels inadequate, disinterested, and doesn’t want to be distracted from psychohistory.
Daneel Olivaw, has vanished after leaving his post as the Emperor Cleon I’s First Minister, and Cleon, based on Demerzel’s recommendation, is pushing for none other than Hari Seldon to succeed him. The action of Foundation’s Fear actually takes place within the action of Forward the Foundation, specifically between Part I ("Eto Demerzel") and Part II ("Cleon I").
