Penultimate episode of Only the Good. Written by James Goss. I guess it was inevitable that when the Master got his own series there would be a Master-lite episode and The Sky Man is this first experiment for The War Master series with this format. On Cole's request the Master takes him to a world so he can save it and this world is that of a farming community. The Sky Man is a name the locals gives to Cole due to the way he came to their world. Not long before listening to this I saw the similarly named Wing Commander Academy 1.5 Lords of the Sky and both episodes more or less run on similar premises including a war being a backdrop. With the Master's limited appearance, Cole dominates proceedings here and it is a rather brilliant performance by Jonny Green as Cole with what he got himself into. There is a lovely love story between Cole and farmgirl Elidh and it was so sad how it inevitably came to an end. What Cole ultimately does to the people of this world felt chronically prescient to what the Master would do when he came up with the Toclafane.
I listened to this on Sunday September 29 2019 and this episode presented an emotional atmosphere which took me by surprise and superbly done.
An enthralling listen on what could have been another typical Sunday for me.
The best of the three War Master episodes so far.
