‎Isaac Asimov‎

‎The End of Eternity‎

‎HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Aug 1971. Re-issue. Paperback. This was the Good Doctor's response to Heinlein's seminal 'By His Bootstraps': a time travel novel that adds more to the mix than just man-goes-back-to-meet-his-grandfather. nAsimov envisions a society that has tasked itself with improving the lot of mankind by introducing carefully calculated changes in the time flow a society of 'Eternals' that live outside of the normal time stream in their own environment constructed with full living habitats in each century all powered by a thin line to the far future when our sun goes nova. It is a caste society with each individual rigidly relegated to the status and job they are deemed best suited for from Maintenance to Computer to Technician. The individuals are recruited from the normal time flow as the Eternals by their own rules are forbidden to have children. nAndrew Harlan is one such recruit who is quickly tabbed as having the emotional makeup and intellectual skills to be a Technician one of those who actually implement changes in 'normal' time. Somewhat naive a little bit of an aesthetic who is somewhat bothered by hedonistic societies that he is sometimes required to observe or change he finds himself in a quandary when he falls in love with a lady from such a society. Determined to have her he decides on actions that he knows might bring about the end of Eternity for he has determined a great secret just how Eternity was started in the first place. nAsimov unravels the mysteries and paradoxes of this situation in his usual inimitable style carefully laying down the parameters of the problem leaving clues lying about here and there which Harlan obsessed as he is blithely ignores all leading to a grand climax that gives new perspective to the traditional time paradox problem. The idea of time 'inertia' where the effect of changes that are introduced to the time line slowly die out is an interesting one and is carefully folded into the plot line. Though other books envisioned a corps of people who manage time the society shown here is better fleshed out than just about all previous attempts not to be surpassed until Fritz Leiber's The Big Time. And possibly there would not be another better worked out 'solution' to the basic riddle of the time paradox until Heinlein's 'All You Zombies.' appeared. As an intellectual exercise then this book is excellent. nBut as is also typical for Asimov his characterization is somewhat weak although he does a better job here than in some of his other works. Harlan is too one-dimensional too driven a little too arrogant about his own abilities to be totally believable. Noys his ladylove is almost a nonentity although she will become one of the lynch-pins of the final resolution. And Computer administrator Twissell is very close to a stereotype. Still the characters are adequate to move the plot and as this is an idea driven novel not one of character this failing is not fatal to the enjoyment of the book. nThis is one of the very few Asimov novels that is not part of his Foundation or Robot sets. Read it if for no other reason to see just what he could do outside of those confines.n--- Reviewed by Patrick Shepherd hyperpat HarperCollins Publishers Ltd paperback‎
