Foundation/Robots Timeline

By Attila Torkos

Friend of the Page, Attila Torkos has created two timelines for Asimov’s Foundation and Robots universe. They are quite excellent and a lot of fun to read.

Timeline number one is everything Attila considers canon. Here is the link.

Timeline number two is for authorized works only. That link is here.

I hope you enjoy them!

Transferring epub files

It is no longer possible (as far as I can tell) to email an epub document to your iPad (or iPhone). I have, however, found and tested two ways to make a transfer to the new iOS app, Books. 1) Using iTunes: Attach your iPad (or iPhone) to iTunes on your computer. Drag (transfer) the unzipped epub file directly to the iTunes-folder Books on your device. 2) You can download the zip-file bundle directly to your iPad (or iPhone) from this site. It will appear in the Files app. Click the downloaded zip file, then click on the epub file. It will appear and be saved in the Books app.

March 2023 Progress Report – Book 3

I am done writing part 2 of the third book. I have to go back and make the second correction on it. After that, three fairly short chapters to finish up the book, corrections on them, and then a final correction on the whole book. At that point I hope to have an editor look at the book to try and weed out as many imperfections as possible before the first edition. If things go according to schedule (but without making any promises) I am hoping for a 2024 release of the book.

Archive of Our Own

This is a message I received from one of the friends of this page, who is an author in her own right (and a very good one too). It concerns a website called Archive of Our Own, which is dedicated to both writers and readers.  You don’t have to be a writer to enjoy the page, nor are you required to become a member (guest readers are wholeheartedly welcome). I highly recommend both the site and the excellent stories by woodswalker88, and urge prospective writers and other authors to consider using this resource:

“I have written several Asimov/Foundation-based stories on the site Archive of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/woodswalker88/works

My main works are two novellas about the Second Foundation: Foundation’s Martyrs and its sequel, Foundation’s Heroes. These stories take place during and after the last chapters of Asimov’s Second Foundation.

I am now working on a series about the Second Foundation, starting with Wanda Seldon in the year 3 F.E. and continuing for the next few centuries. This group (the one that counts, according to Ebling Mis) has remained very much a mystery and I hope to change that.

Please visit. I would be thrilled to have readers’ comments!”

Update Book Three

It has been a while since my last update – over a year – but during that time I have managed to stay on schedule. Right now I am a little over halfway through part 2 (which will be around as long as the six chapters in part 1). Part 3 will not be nearly as long as parts 1 and 2, and more like a series of epilogues or addendums. The book is going well (as far as I can judge😊).  The story is mapped-out in my head, but still there is a long way to go. I promise to keep plugging away.

Book 3 Progress Report

I am now finished with the first third of book three (six chapters). During the rest of April and the month of May (2021) I will be going back to it for the second rewrite/first edit, and to see, in general, where I am at. I am considering making a stylistic change for part 2, but I still have around six weeks of procrastination to reconsider (chicken out, that is).

Downloads working again

Downloads are now possible again.

I only just realized that there was a problem with them. It apparently occurred when I attached an SSL Certificate to my webpage for security reasons. The new address is https:// instead of http://.

Google Chrome announced that they will no longer allow downloads from unsecured pages. The problem lay, as far as I could tell, in my old internal links (some went back to 2014). These are closed now, replaced by new links to the bundles.

I have tested downloads on Chrome, Safari, and Edge, and all seem to be in working order, show secure, and confirm that my SSL Certificate is valid. If you have any difficulties downloading, please write me at fft@ibmjob.dk

Bundles

I’ve changed the downloads to bundles – one mobi and one epub each. It is something I’ve been planning to do for a while, but because of the problem mentioned above, I decided to do so now. You can use them both or just delete the one you don’t use. Just unzip and you will find both formats in the inner folder.
