One of the best by one of the masters.By ElisabethOne of the best sf books ever. Plus some of the stories by other great sf authors who were inspired by the original. If you like sf even a little bit, you'll love this. Even though it was written in the 30s, it's not dated at all. Quite a feat for any type of story, but especially for sf.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Just WonderfulBy Dave CarverEvery bit the classic as promised. The related stories all do a wonderful job of paying Homage to the original as well as expanding upon it in creative ways. It's always a pleasure to go back to the stories that were the genesis of so many other great tales.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Short but decent alt history bookBy Ryan SaputoThe story of Martin Padway is a very interesting one. Throughout the whole story, I was intrigued and wondering what was going to happen next. However, to my disappointment, the book itself is pretty short, and I finished reading it in 2 days. While it doesn't show in its language, the books age does show in its portrayal of the middle ages as the "dark ages". Rarely do books have such a great influence on a genre as Lest Darkness Fall has had on science fiction. Frequently quoted as one of the 'favorite' books of many of the masters of the field, this book by L. Sprague de Camp helped establish time-travel as a solid sub-genre of science fiction. An indication of the influence and longevity of the book is by the number of best-selling writers who have written stories in direct response to, or influenced by, Lest Darkness Fall. This new volume also includes three such stories by Frederik Pohl, David Drake and S. M. Stirling written over a period of forty-three years-a testament to the timelessness of the book. Similar, thematically, to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, the book tells the tale of Martin Padway who, as he is walking around in modern Rome, is suddenly transported though time to 6th Century Rome. Once in ancient Rome, Padway (now Martinus Paduei Quastor) embarks on an ambitious project of single-handedly changing history. L. Sprague de Camp was a student of history (and the author of a number of popular works on the subject). In Lest Darkness Fall he combines his extensive knowledge of the workings of ancient Rome with his extraordinary imagination to create one of the best books of time travel ever written.

24th WORLD SCIENCE-FICTION CONVENTION PROGRESS REPORT NO. 1 CLEVELAND, OHIO Sept. 2,3,4&5, 1966 GUEST OF HONOR - L. SPRAGUE DE CAMP THE SEARCH FOR THE HISTORICAL L. SPRAGUE DE CAMP OR, THE COMPLEAT DRAGON-CATCHER BY ROGER ZELAZNY Let me tell you about L. Sprague de Camp. Thia is the sixth time I’ve tried. (It’s not that you weren't paying attention. The first five trials, wisely, are paper snowballs which my cat at least is enjoying. By and large, though, her tastes differ from yours and mine. Good thing, too.) It is a hard, hard thing to write about someone you admire hell out of, without sounding like an ad man pushing a new brand of filter-tips or next year's model Fordrolet. This is not my intention, but if it seems to seep in around the edges -- well, you know ... If you've read de Camp, that is, you know. I've never met Mister de Camp, so I can't give you a word portrait or even a line-drawing as to lineament and design, favorite frowns and smirks, taste in cravats, etc. All I know is what I've read in the books with the rocket ships on the covers and the ones without the rocketships, too. So let me tell you about the L. Sprague de Camp^ know. He went and wrote whole big stacks of things. The first one I read was called LEST DARKNESS FALL* Which is why I read more. Quickly then, I read ROGUE QUEEN.

TRICON Graphic Tricon - 1966 Worldcon Recollections
TRICON Graphic Tricon - 1966 WorldCon Recollections Copyright © 2007 -- Steven Towsley Just prior to my 17th birthday, I attended the 24th World Science-Fiction Convention with my friend Bill Shrock. We were co-editors of a fanzine, The Animation Journal, about stop-motion effects. David Massaro was our host and guide for the long Labor Day weekend, as he was a contributing writer to the magazine. I spent a lot of time in the dark watching the screenings at this Con, so my reconstruction herewith comes from limited memories and surviving documents, including the Con flyer, letterhead, and some correspondence. Quoting from 1/7/66 letter to me from Con Chairman Ben Jason: "...Frankly, I was rather surprised by the large influx of mail in response to Bill Obaggy's announcement in MONSTER WORLD... I've been a photographer for more years than I care to remember and you can always see me toting around either a 35mm or 4.5 Speed Graphic to photograph Costume Balls, the Annual Banquet, and the fans and pros of the convention....Forrest J. Ackerman has been present at all these conventions and is a member and panelist of the present one...David Massaro, a local fan, has volunteered his services to project practically-all-night showings of various films...Excuse the incoherence of this letter, but my duties are many and time is somewhat limited..." Quoting from a 5/18/66 letter from Bill Thailing, Con Secretary: "Since four months ago we have been heavily over-programmed and we had to make some cuts." In no particular order, here are some recollections: The most memorable thing, in retrospect, is that the STAR TREK TV pilot was previewed at this Con with Gene Roddenberry speaking and taking questions.

L. Sprague De Camp
L. Sprague de Camp Lyon Sprague de Camp, né le 27 novembre 1907 à New York et mort le 6 novembre 2000 (à 92 ans) à Plano au Texas, est un écrivain américain de science-fiction et de fantasy. Au long de sa carrière de cinquante ans, il a rédigé plus de cent nouvelles, ainsi que plusieurs biographies d'écrivains de fantasy. Il fut ami avec Isaac Asimov et Robert Heinlein (ils ont travaillé ensemble à la Naval Air Experimental Station de Philadelphie vers 1942). Sa première nouvelle, Les Isolingues, parut en 1937 dans Astounding Science-fiction. Biographie Ingénieur en aéronautique de formation, de Camp fut candidat scientifique ((en) Bachelor of Science degree) en ingénierie aéronautique en 1930 à l'Institut de Technologie Californien et licencié de la même filière ((en) Master of Science degree) à l'Institut de Technologie Stevens trois ans plus tard, en 1933. Il épousa Catherine Crook en 1940, avec qui il collabora sur de nombreuses œuvres de fiction et non-fictionnelles à partir des années 1960. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de Camp travailla à la Naval Air Experimental Station de Philadelphie (la N.A.E.S) avec deux de ses amis également auteurs de science-fiction, Isaac Asimov et Robert A. Heinlein. Il atteint le grade de (en)Lieutenant Commander au terme de son service dans la marine. Il fut membre du club littéraire masculin des Trap Door Spiders (« Les araignées de la Trappe », en français), qui servit de modèle au groupe fictionnel des Veufs Noirs de l'écrivain Isaac Asimov. Sprague de Camp a lui-même servi de modèle au personnage de Geoffrey Avalon, l'un des veufs en question.

Rereading L. Ron Hubbard L
REFLECTIONS Robert Silverberg REREADING L. RON HUBBARD L. Ron Hubbard was famous—some would say notorious—as the founding figure of Dianetics, a method of psychotherapy that evolved into what is now called Scientol - ogy. But long before he ventured into Dianetics he was a science fiction writer, and a very good one, one of the mainstays of John W. Campbell’s top-of-the-field magazine Astounding Science Fiction and its fantasy companion, Unknown. It’s a long time since I’ve read any of Hubbard’s fiction, and recently I thought I’d take a look at what may be the best of it, the fantasy novella “Fear.” Campbell, who had been a major science fiction writer himself, was twenty-eight years old and had been editing Astounding for about a year when he hatched the idea, in the fall of 1938, of doing a companion magazine that would run fantasy—fantasy of a special kind, lighter and more sophisticated than what the pulp magazines of the day were publishing. “The material is to be fantasy,” he told a friend, “plus a little weird, supernatural and horror of the psychological type. No sex, no sadism, no beauteous and necessarily nude maidens sacrificed to obscene gods.” The new magazine, which ultimately would appear under the title of Unknown and, later, Unknown Worlds, was destined to revolutionize the entire concept of fan - tasy fiction. In its short but dazzling life of thirty-nine issues—wartime paper short - ages would snuff it out in 1943—it would bring into the world such future classics as Robert A.

A Working Bibliography of David Drake's Writing
A WORKING BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DAVID DRAKE’S WRITING by Karen Zimmerman David Drake sold his first story in 1966 and continues to write novels, short fiction, essays and other miscellaneous pieces. Although he is sometimes referred to as the “King of Military Science Fiction,” his fiction spans multiple genres. He claims to have written just about every subgenre except SF romance. This bibliography is the beginning of a complete listing of his work.

Also omitted are other formats such as The Drake Disk, a CD-ROM collection of his work produced by Baen Publishing Enterprises in 2003. See the Baen web site (http://www.baen.com) for listings of electronic versions available. Different printings of books are listed only when the ISBN or price has changed. The list is divided into four sections: A) books (novels and collections of stories) written by David Drake, including titles for which he wrote the plot outlines, listed at the end of the section; B) books edited by David Drake; C) his short fiction published in magazines and anthologies; and D) miscellaneous writings such as essays, comments, book introductions and odd pieces that don’t fit elsewhere. This list does not include introductions to individual stories. This list will be updated at David’s official web site: http://david-drake.com.
