Universal Light, Chapter 12, Part 3
They’d always enjoyed a punt together. In fact their relationship had first become physical drifting down the River Cam one evening, the failing light providing some protection from prying eyes. As she relaxed in the mild sunshine, Tamara relieved the passionate kiss they’d had. It had led to a...

Tamara found herself lost in reverie, back in her graduate days. It was as if she was twenty-two again and in love … with Steve. She felt her current fears and weariness fall away. But then a voice spoke. The illusion was shattered. There were two Foundation members standing before her, both in...

Universal Light, Chapter 12, Part 3
There was little traffic on the way to Cambridge. Snow lay in drifts at the sides of the road, glistening in the sun. Steve had the car windows tinted to cut out the glare. The car was on automatic. He’d decided that the slippery conditions were best handled by the computer, and he’d wanted to...

Universal Light, Chapter 12, Part 2
Jason returned an hour later. He was unusually polite to Tamara. “Thanks God, you’re all right, Tamara,” he said. “The nurse was really worried.” Tamara thought he looked ill.

When Scott returned to his quarters, he found Aaron there. Tynan discouraged locks on the doors of members’ accommodation. “How can you appreciate the entirety of the magnificent Universe?” he asked the assembled members and acolytes. “Neither should you place too much importance on personal...

Universal Light, Chapter 11, Part 4
The glass lift rose swiftly. Through it Scott could see the panorama of Foundation Headquarters before him, floor by floor. It reeked of money. There had been allegations of corruption, but these had been quashed by the Home Secretary, who said millions of pounds shouldn’t be spent on a case with...

Universal Light, Chapter 11, Part 3
After a few months, Jason noticed a change in Tynan’s behaviour and demeanour. He became more withdrawn, absent-minded and irritable. “Scott, what do I pay you for?” he snapped, when asked what to do about some new press intrusion. Also the Director took to staying longer in his office with the door...

Universal Light, Chapter 11, Part 2
hey gathered in the Great Hall at Foundation Headquarters. Perhaps 1000, Scott surmised. All noisy, excited teenagers, about two-thirds of them boys. Like him they wore the navy blue T-shirt studded with stars, emblazoned with the Foundation’s motto of The Miraculous Universe that Created Itself and...

Universal Light, Chapter 11, Part 1
Chapter 11 The car sped along the Strand, passing the newly restored Strand Palace Hotel. Scott looked at the squat grey building, and thought of all the wealthy and influential people staying there, unaware of the wave of destruction that threatened to break upon them.
