A review by ninj
Past Master by R.A. Lafferty

3.0

Three people selecting someone to solve their utopian planet's problems, choose Thomas Moore from the past: 1000 years earlier. Then it deteriorates into sluggish, disconnected, uninteresting 'adventures' that had me wondering if it was worth continuing. Then a bit over halfway got super interesting, and continued in a (coherent) strong vein till the end. After the first 20 pages I'm not sure I really got much out of the first half, but I'm also not sure the second half stands alone...
