This is an older novel that held up well for the second time
I read it. Padway inexplicably finds
himself thrown back to Roman times where he strives to hold back the dark ages.
The original version of this story is circa 1939. Since then I have read many similar stories. BTW I did not read it in 1939, although I ain’t
dead yet, I ain’t that old yet. The
story line holds up well and the author points out the many difficulties in
trying to modernize without having a previous infrastructure.
The amoral, extremely moral and lethally inclined populace
is a shock to the modern man. His rare
close encounters with the fairer sex nearly convince him to remain
celibate.
A good story and I enjoyed it.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
