The End of Eternity

De: Isaac Asimov

Narrado por: Jon Lindstrom

A spellbinding novel set in the universe of Isaac Asimov’s classic Galactic Empire series and Foundation series

Due to circumstances within our control...tomorrow will be canceled.

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.

Excellent. No need to suspend belief to enjoy.

Gave me a new way to visualize time. Not the expected linear flow from past to future.

Unbelievable this was written in the 50's

Amazing book, a bit slow at the start but stick with it, more than worth it.

Performance starts Bad and gets good

The performance started out really badly, and gradually got good. The story was pretty good.

Mind blowing.

Best story ever involving time travel. To read either as a stand alone novel or after the Foundation series since it’s somehow connected. Great audiobook regardless.

WOW!

I thoroughly enjoyed Isaac Asimov's entire Foundations series, and Robots: All are exceptional.

'The End of Eternity', is, personality, VERY EXCEPTIONAL.

Jon Lindstrom's performance was perfect: the pace, the voices, the clarity: all spot-on.

My first Asimov novel

It wasn't a bad novel...it is however difficult at times to follow. Paperback is probably the better option. Definitely a story that would translate better into film...preferably by Christopher Nolan.

A fascinating view of thought from 1955

Future reality perhaps? Is this truly a glimpse of what really might be one future?

Holds up well

For a book written half a century ago, this one still feels fresh. There are some intense discussions about time travel paradox and the ethics thereof, I enjoyed it.

Intriguing

Cool characters and ideas. I thought it to be a novel idea. haven't come across to much writing this good.

Asimov is Legendary

The last sentence of the book makes Eternity into a word the denotes imprisonment and Infinity into one that inspires Freedom. A Beautiful book.
