Orson Fletcher Is often considered an outsider at school due to his unique ability to discern truth and understand how things work. His father, a trillionaire tech CEO, invites Orson on an extraordinary work trip: a journey to an alternate timeline in 2077 Massachusetts. His father's goal is to extract advanced technology from this future and bring it back to their own time. Believing Orson will thrive in this technologically advanced society, where people are divided into classes like the Thinking Class and Pebbler Class, his father thinks Orson will fit right in. Orson quickly befriends students at the local university, learning their transportation methods, games, and societal norms. However, law enforcement in this timeline soon detects the anomalies caused by the timeline jumpers, thrusting Orson into the heart of a conspiracy.
The Frequency of Long Shadows is a speculative fiction adventure with plenty of action, conspiracy and mystery. While Orson is the central character, the narrative unfolds through multiple perspectives. These include his father; his university friends Aurelia, Myka, and Bowen; other time travelers; an assassin; and Special Detective Pinto and his Artificial Partner 8008. These diverse viewpoints contribute to rich world-building, offering insights into the daily lives, leadership structures, transactions, friendships, education, and leisure activities of different classes within this timeline. The narrative gradually reveals information, encouraging trust that details will unfold naturally. The story builds with numerous twists and turns, and Orson's personality and deductive reasoning truly shine as he unravels the conspiracy. I particularly enjoyed witnessing Orson's personal growth and his realization of his true potential.
