An Agent of Utopia, by Andy Duncan

An Agent of UtopiaAn Agent of Utopia by Andy Duncan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This review is specific to An Agent of Utopia, which is all I have read so far. And as these stories go it's a good one--the best thing about it is the period setting, particularly his florid descriptions of the filth of the Thames in Shakespearian London. The story centers around Thomas More and his execution, imagining Utopia as a real place with an active presence in London. Good if you like Andy Duncan already.
