Description
Sir Thomas More arrives in a human colony 900 years in the future, where there is trouble in an apparently utopian world. He and his followers must save this golden world from perfection engineered by soulless beings. In this mind-bending first novel, R.A. Lafferty turns space-opera science fiction conventions upside-down. The story features fractured allegories, tales-within-tales, and surprising twists that take your breath away. Unpublished passages are included in the notes, along with an introduction by Andrew Ferguson. A unique blend of ideas and adventure, Past Master is a thought-provoking read that will perplex and intrigue you.
