Assess Of Books The End of Eternity

Even though I tend to pick them apart, I love stories dealing with time-travel. Most end up creating what should be a paradox or forget little things that I tend to pick up on. Not this one. Asimov did a spectacular job. I thought I had him a couple of times but he covered everything.Eternity, in this case, is something separate from our reality. The people who live there, the Eternals, have the ability to tweak our reality to produce different outcomes from those that occurred naturally. They

In many ways, an absolute masterpiece of classic science fiction. Asimov's best stand-alone novel, which is kind of by default due to his other great work Foundation being a series and most of his other science fiction works to be short stories.

4.0 to 4.5 Stars. Superb Asimov story and his best novel not set within the Foundation and Robot Universe.

Less than 200 pages. The same material nowadays would be expanded to at least 600 pages or probably a trilogy. Well cool ideas:* The time shafts are powered by our Sun going supernova in the distant future.* Idealogical debate between Utilitarianism and adventure. (And fighting for frontiers) or short term safety vs risk and long term growth.* Everything that happens is intricately played out according to the central plot driverI suppose because SF writers feel obliged to provide characters and
