The Eternals, the ruling class of the Future, had the power of life and death not only over every human being but over the very centuries into which they were born. Past, Present, and Future could be created or destroyed at will.
You had to be special to become an Eternal. Andrew Harlan was special. Until he committed the one unforgivable sin—falling in love.
Eternals weren't supposed to have feelings. But Andrew could not deny the sensations that were struggling within him. He knew he could not keep this secret forever. And so he began to plan his escape, a plan that changed his own past . . . and threatened Eternity itself.

One of those stories that teaches one of the 'big lessons' as I call them, necessary to human growth. And also was likely a large inspiration for one of the better disney marvel shows.
I did not enjoy foundation or I robot. Would this be the one to go for for a third try? I studied engineering and I definitely prefer Dune's "anyone who talks about advanced technology immediately gets nuked"... I only believe there's one Dune book though and I just read it over and over again...
This book makes Back to the Future look like child's play. Considering the publish date of this novel, Isaac Asimov proves that he is ahead of his time even today. I have not really read many time-travel intesive books but Hollywood can't compare to the master of Science Fiction. This was a rather short read for me as I had just finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The pace of the book is a bit slow at the beginning but picks up quickly toward the end. I enjoyed the time perspective change from the main character and found it to be rather unique. If you are an Asimov fan and haven't read this book, you are cheating yourself out of a good read.

Give this a try. Another good book is The Gods Themselves.

Thanks! I would've loved I robot as like a "Scary Door" episode (twilight zone! I was blanking...)
