Thomas More is brought from the 16th century to the 26th in a time machine to save the world.
—Fred Galvin
We are trying to find a new sort of leader who can slow, even reverse, the break-up, Paul. We’ve selected a man from the Earth Past, Thomas More. We will present him to the people only as the Thomas, or perhaps, to be more fanciful, as the Past Master. You know of him?
