✦ Synopsis

As the global energy crisis of the 21st century wears on, James Lendeman searches for answers–both for the country and for himself. Working in the Federal Energy Department for the iconoclastic and enigmatic Kate Hastings, James is at the center of a world of political intrigue and personal conflicts. Unsure of whether he can go along with Kate's plans for the country (and for him), he is forced to steer his own way through a maze of personal and professional problems. When we meet James a few years later (through author B. R. Freemont's ingenious weaving of dual timelines), he is in Savannah, working as a contractor for the government and debating the merits of a flitatious college student who lives in his boarding house. Nimbly moving forward and backward through James's personal timeline, Of Time and Place leads its readers on a journey through the twists and turns of life in a kind of historical novel of the future. From a tumultuous romance and marriage to a romantic spring in Florence and the adversities along the way, James finds himself debating both his own life and the feasibility of maintaining a viable US economy in the mid-21st century. Drawn from very real issues of global import, and playing out in some of the most storied cities in the world, Of Time and Place will leave every reader pondering the future– and the present.
