The Man Who Saw the Future by Edmond Hamilton
My rating: 3 of 5 starsLooking through my unheard audiobooks I ran across one of my old favorite writers, Edmond Hamilton. I had a Librovox recording of "The Man Who Saw the Future". I went online and found a Project Gutenberg edition of the book published on February 13, 2009, illustrated by Leo Morey — so I could read along with the narration by Gregg Margarite, one of my favorite ebook narrators.
"The Man Who Saw the Future" by Edmond Hamilton was first made into an ebook from Amazing Stories of February 1961, but the story was first published in Amazing Stories of October 1930.
In Edmond's story Henri Lothiere, an apothecary's assistant of Paris in 1444 is a curious soul at a time when being curious could get a person killed. It starts with the Jean De Marselait, Inquisitor Extraordinary of the King of France reading the charges against Henri, an alleged sorcerer.
