This book takes place after the collapse of galactic civilization (and there is no foundation). Three brothers return from exile to overthrow the mind-controlling cult that enslaved their people. The inhabitants of a small planet fight against space pirates, and on the capital world, a stranger with strange powers is meddling with the governement: but no one is sure what he is doing, or whose side he is on.
