About This Audiobook
Imagine Sir Thomas More, the 16th-century statesman and scholar, suddenly transported to a distant human colony in the year 2535. That's the delightful premise of R.A. Lafferty's 'Past Master'. This isn't your typical sci-fi tale; it's a witty, anachronistic adventure that blends historical fiction with futuristic dystopia. Narrator Matthew Waterson brings the story to life with a rich, engaging performance, effortlessly toggling between the 16th and 26th centuries. His ability to infuse More's character with both period-appropriate gravitas and modern humor is a testament to his skill.
