Thanks again Geckomlis!

I have found a copy of Shockwave Rider on Ebay. It should be here in a week! It was part of a batch of 9 John Brunner paperbacks.

My favorite time travel stories are "The End Of Eternity" by Asimove and "Millenium" by Varley.

"The End Of Eternity" is about an 'agent' whose job is to go back in time and 'adjust' the timeline in order to preserve their way of life. He becomes unhappy and stages a bit of a revolt. IMHO, this is one of Asimov's best.

"Millenium" is about a group of humans from the distant future who are snatching people from airplanes just before crashes. Their goal is to repopulate the planet with better, unmutated stock. It is very interesting in that the story is told in first person singular from two character's point of view. Their timelines are not in synch so the sequence of events is different for each of them. This was made into a movie with Kris Kristoferson. The movie had its good points, but the book was much better.
