Ad for the Science Fiction Book Club on the back cover of “Satellite Science Fiction,” Vol 1, No. 4 (April, 1957).

            Features an Introduction to Isaac Asimov’s sci-fi novel “The End of Eternity:”

“Your name is Andrew Harlan and you look like other men.  You have the same wants, the same emotions.  There’s one difference.  You were born in the 95th Century . . . and you’ve travelled as far ‘upwhen’ as the 111,394th.  You see, Harlan, you are an ETERNAL . . . a trouble-shooter sent from a timeless realm to change the course of history!

“Right now you’re in the primitive ‘downwhen.’  You’re here in the 20th Century on the most VITAL mission of your career.  But you can’t delay here, Harlan!  You’ve been ordered to board your Time Kettle and . . .

“Why are you hesitating, you FOOL?  Is it the girl?  Is it the lovely Noys Lambent, with the seductive body of an evil goddess?  Better get going!  As an Eternal you belong to an inflexible priesthood which forbids romancing with a woman!  YOU CAN’T HAVE HER. And, what’s more . . . YOU’VE GOT TO KILL HER!

“Hurry, Harlan! That ‘blaster’ you have leveled at her heart will erase Noys Lambent FOREVER!  Maybe you DO love her . . . Maybe you DO want her. So what?  It’s too late for that!  You must kill her RIGHT NOW . . . OR CAUSE THE END OF ETERNITY!

“But perhaps . . . perhaps she’d be worth it . . .”

[Note: The Science Fiction Book Club was established by Doubleday in 1953.  It offered one title per month, which members received and could return if not wanted.]
