From Robots to Foundations

Mapping space and time in Asimov’s Galaxy

They called him Raven because he unravelled mankind’s future - the future of a human species that had forgotten its past.

Only fragments of history in space have been preserved. And the planet called Earth had been forgotten.

The most detailed timeline, from the beginning of spaceflight to the era of the two Foundations, that can be compiled from the novels and stories by Isaac Asimov which are set in the Trantor Universe: the Robot Series, the Empire Series and the Foundation Series, as well as ‘Nemesis’ and a couple of short stories.

The Serpent and its Priest

His mind would never settle with petty aims. He always saw the greater thing.

1850 years ago, when scientific thinking was on decline and religious fundamentalism winning over, Alexandros, a little quack, made himself high priest and guru of the demonic Glycon, a puppet on strings that he had declared a godhead to deceive the masses and relieve them of their money.

The report, written by Lucian of Samosata who exposed the deceiver with analytic deduction, is the oldest preserved essay on the war, still undecided, between scepticism and superstition.

All titles available on paper or as ebooks from: www.codex-regius.eu and online bookshops like Amazon, XinXii, Lulu etc.

Codex Regius
is the pen name and label of two authors: Andreas Möhn from Wiesbaden, Germany, and Metka Klemenčič from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Metka is a university engineer of chemistry and has spent her time trying to convey the wonders of the Periodic Table to mostly unreceptive students. Andreas, a graduate of physical engineering, has been working as a technical editor before the couple set up a freelance translation business and their own publishing company. Today they are working from home, which the children find very convenient when they return from school. The two authors are married to each other and still trying to find a common language.
