48 New and Classic Time Travel Books

"One unbreakable rule of the human condition is that time moves forward exclusively. So far as we know, it has only ever moved in one direction. This results in tragic things like aging, regret, aching nostalgia, and super-long championship droughts for sports fans. It's tyranny, really.
