Time Travelers Never Die started life as a Jack McDevitt novella in the mid-1990s (Hugo- and Nebula-nominated) before he expanded it into a full novel over a decade later; the novella and novel are two forms of the same story rather than a sequel. It follows a small circle of people who gain access to working time travel and use it to step into the past, in McDevitt's characteristic register of curious, history-minded science fiction.

From the front flap of the Doubleday first edition: "Gordon Naismith was a physics professor at a large California university. The year was 1980, and by means of the university's duplicator he could personally teach in nine different classrooms simultaneously. Naismith was an average man in all but two respects: the reflexes were extraordinarily quick, and four years before in a plane crash he had lost all memory of his earlier life. Neither difference seemed important until one day a very unusual student in one of his classes asked a disturbing, extracurricular question: "Professor, what is a zug?" The question triggered a series of violent incidents, and soon Naismith himself, as well as the police, were beginning to wonder if the duplicator had reproduced him a tenth time. The answer lay ten thousand years in the future."

There is a science that reads the future of quadrillions the way an astronomer reads the orbits of stars. It is called psychohistory, and its equations foresee something the ruling Galactic Empire cannot admit: the throne is rotting, and thirty thousand years of barbarism are coming. One man, Hari Seldon, cannot stop the fall. He can only shorten it — by seeding a Foundation of scholars at the rim of the galaxy, a fragile institution built to carry knowledge across the dark and cut the interregnum to a single millennium. This is a universe told in the register of history itself: the long view, the calm of deep time, empires measured in centuries and men measured against them. The spine is Asimov's original trilogy — Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation — followed decades later by the sequels Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth and the prequels Prelude to Foundation and Forward the Foundation. Late in life Asimov braided this in with his other future histories: the Robot novels of detective Elijah Baley and his humaniform partner R. Daneel Olivaw (The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn, Robots and Empire) and the early Galactic Empire novels (Pebble in the Sky and its kin), until one continuous chronicle ran from the first thinking robots to the Second Empire. Other hands extend it — the Second Foundation Trilogy by Gregory Benford, Greg Bear, and David Brin, and shared-world spinoffs such as Robot City — so the corpus sprawls beyond a single author's tidy shelf. What distinguishes it is that the drama is intellectual: crises resolved by insight, nerve, and dialogue rather than fleets and blades, each turn hinging on the hidden logic of the Seldon Plan. Begin where readers have always begun — with Foundation, and the original trilogy in publication order. The rest opens outward from there.
