First Edition By This Publisher,.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. inventory = B 125 Pages; ** Time Travel novel (Lest Darkness Fall) in which the method of time travel was rationalized and the hero's technical expertise both set at a believable level and constrained by the technological limitations of the age; ** Martin Padaway was a smart enough young man, with a scientific education, but no universal genius. He had the misfortune to be suddenly dropped back into time, and a very alarming time at that-sinth century Rome, when the Goths ruled Italy, and civilization in the west was collapsing. To make a living, and to try and shore up civilization, Padaway undertook to introduce inventions such as gunpowder, clocks, and printing. Some worked and some didn't, often with dramatic and hilarious results. 92 Grams; Ed Emshwiller EMSH Good Girl Art GGA painted cover; >> Indents to covers;.
