How many sf books have "Eternity" in their titles?
Eternity by Greg Bear;
Sailing Bright Eternity by Gregory Benford;
Threshold Of Eternity by John Brunner;
Assignment In Eternity by Robert Heinlein;
The Palace Of Eternity by Bob Shaw;
Highway Of Eternity by Clifford Simak;
Empress Of Eternity by L.E. Modesitt Jr;
One Against Eternity by A.E. Van Vogt;
The Siege Of Eternity by Frederick Pohl;
On The Oceans Of Eternity by S.M. Stirling;
The Eternity Stone by Aden Foster Romine and Mary Cox Romine;
"The Eternity Engine" by Jack Williamson;
The End Of Eternity by Isaac Asimov;
no doubt others.
Asimov gives us dire time travel logic. Brunner gives us fairly incomprehensible time travel. Some titles I have found by googling. I will be interested to learn how Bear's Eternity follows from his Eon.

Hi, Paul!
And the core of what became TAU ZERO was originally called "To Outlive Eternity," so Poul Anderson himself used that word at least once!
Btw, the sixth volume of NESFA's Press reprinting of many of the shorter works of Poul Anderson, A BICYCLE BUILT FOR BREW, came in the mail today. Silly, maybe, to get those NESFA Press books when I already have most of their contents in other books. But, I'll buy them anyway!
And BICYCLE has the original, shorter magazine versions of some Anderson stories, such as THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS.
