Lest Darkness Fall
I just finish L.Sprague de Camp's Lest Darkness Fall. I really enjoyed it. Much more than 1632, Which I just finished as well (Courtesy of Baen free library). Not that 1632 isn't good, it is. Just that I think that De Camp nailed better the mindset of people at the time he was writing about (Rome's last days as an empire). I'm not an historian. But the way I see it - the people populating 1632 have very 20th century way of thinking.

I have two questions:
1. Considering it was released back in 1933 (I think) why isn't it in the public domain?

2. Can you recommend me some similar books???

Thanks a lot
Dave
