This is a story of the great thinker Sir Thomas More's last days, in an alternate history where the land described in his work Utopia actually exists, and they send an emissary - an "agent of Utopia" - to approach him in the Tower of London with an offer to break him out of prison and spirit him to safety.

While I can admire the choice of melding a bit of known history with a fictional protagonist and supernatural elements, and the skill of its execution, I did not really find this story engaging. There's not quite enough here to make a real story for me. I suspect that people who have extensive knowledge of English history, or who have had courses in Renaissance or Enlightenment literature, would appreciate it a great deal more.
