The End of Eternity

'TO THE END OF TIME...' His name is Andrew Harlan. He is an Eternal: a member of a highly exclusive organisation. He is a Technician, and his job is to range through past and future centuries, monitoring and even altering Time's myriad cause-and-effect relationships. The reality changes Harlan initiates may affect the lives of up to fifty billion people. Above all, therefore, a technician must be Dispassionate. An emotional make-up is a distinct handicap. But whan he meets Noys, Harlan falls victim to a phenomenon older than Time itself - love. It is then that he realises that years of self-discipline must be cast aside. He must use the awesome technique of the Eternals to twist Time so that he and Noys might survive - together. 'We're talking serious legends, here.
