WEAVING the TIMES is set in 3022 in a world governed by the Magnificent Noo Wld Reepublik uv Aezhu and de Amerikez, also called "The RAA." The only permissible language is Inglish. Loyel Sitizenz dare not question the rools and regs of the RAA.
Hom, our hero, knows that the RAA lies to the people. He feels called to sort the truth from the lies. Twelve years old, he sets out with Great-Uncle Mungo to see the world. After Uncle Mungo dies, Hom journeys alone until his boat is beached on an island where the RAA seems to have no presence.
Hom, now a young man, writes stories of his travels in an ancient university library. Phineas, a one-time student, provides ink and paper.
Phineas has stories too. From these, and from stories told in McGivers Pub, Hom learns that the RAA has occupied this island, taken what they wanted, and destroyed what they didn't. When the RAA returns, the dignitaries and their armed entourage are routed in a highly satisfactory way. "Galubrious!" says Hom.
The book has a deliriously happy ending.
