Stories of the Foundation, Habitats, and the Future of Humanity

The First Storyteller

Historically notable in his own right, Brandon Sheehan lived in the habitats 150 years after the nuclear event. While not a professional writer, he was the first to listen to the stories told to him by Alexandra and Kevin Hanlon about their early days in the habitat, gaining permission to record and preserve the stories they told him. None were released during his lifetime.

Upon his death in the Year 169 ac (after catastrophe), he willed all the stories to Kevin Hanlon. Kevin never published them during his time, but Alexandra did after Kevin’s death.
