Bring two possibilities to mind:
The obvious one -> Azimov's Foundation Series
Less obvious -> Steve Perry's Matadore Series

No - although I can see how you might try that. I dont think the Benegeserit training program wa that long in Dune, but it might have been - long time since I read it.
Two more clues
Clue 4: Second Stage

Well, I know EE 'Doc' Smith wrote the "Lensman" series of books - including "Second Stage Lensman" but never having read any of them, this is just a guess:
Lensman ?

Close enough. The Lensmen series refers to lots of Lensmen, I was hoping for one in particular, but you've go the right series, and aren't far from the main character.
The correct answer is: Kimball Kinnison from E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensman series
The Lensman books are well worth reading, if only to get a historic perspective on Science Fiction. He's one of those authors, along with Asimov, Pohl, Blish, Niven, Banks and Gibson that I feel every Sci-fi fan should read at least a little of.
If you do read them though, read them in the orderthey were written, not the order they no seem to publish them in - i.e. Start with Galactic Patrol and work forwards. Triplanetary and First Lensman were written later as Prequels and work best if you are familiar with what comes after.
Cheers,
Geller

I'll have to give them a go, I've heard plenty of good things about them... (I think you could have held out for the full 'Kimball Kinnison' answer though, people round here know thier sci-fi!) 
Ok then, I guess it's question time, so here we go 
Round 10, Clue 1:
Travels through time.

Nice starting question - it leaves so many possibilities :-)
As stated, the Doctor is the obvious answer, but lets go out on a limb with some oddball film suggestions, since I know the second clue is bound to rule these out and I can't resist offering them as suggestions:
Ash (Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness)
The Connecticut Yankee
Donnie Darko

Very true , and that leads us nicely to the next clue which is:
Travels through time, in one direction: Backwards!

I'd say The Land that Time Forgot, but that's not really right, so I'm going with that lovely episode of Red Dwarf called Backwards and the lovely city of nodnoL :)
