The project was not executed in the manner envisaged by Martin and his associates, although a surprising number of its proposals were implemented. But the un-built architecture is examined here for its insights into a distinctive moment in British history, when a purposeful technological future seemed not just possible but imminent, apparently sweeping away an anachronistic Edwardian establishment to be replaced with a new meritocracy forged in the ’white heat of technology’.

Singled out for abuse by his new master's sadistic son, he dreams of only one thing: escape. He thinks he's found it when he falls in love with a Cherokee woman from a powerful family, under whose direction he learns to pass as white. But it's not long before he discovers that freedom that's based on a lie will only get him so far. While struggling to find his place in the world, he also wrestles within his heart to realize his faith. This faith is tested when his slave past catches up with him, and threatens everyone he cares for. He must decide whether slavery is the price he's willing to pay for his family's freedom.
