As a kid, I got hooked on Star Trek, and this led to my love of science fiction movies, and eventually to my discovering something called “books.” Two of the earliest sci-fi novels I remember reading were Robert Silverberg’s The Silent Invaders and a rather weather-beaten paperback copy of Asimov’s The End of Eternity. My young brain was forever scarred by the time paradoxes therein.
From there I went on to devour Arthur C. Clarke, Ben Bova, Robert Heinlein, Anthony Burgess, and anything and everything I could find by Asimov — I, Robot, the Foundation series, Caves of Steel…
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of visual take someone might have on Eternity. It’s been so long since I’ve read it, though, I barely remember the plot points. Too bad the book’s out of print.
Off to trade in some old books at a used book store…
As a fan of time travel stories, I’ve always enjoyed “The End of Eternity.” The thought of it being filmed is intriguing.
