People Out of Time

More about the book

The narrative unfolds as the protagonist grapples with skepticism regarding Bowen Tyler's manuscript, recalling Bowen's past as a notorious prankster. Seated in the Tyler library, he feels foolish for delivering the manuscript in person rather than sending it. Anticipating the arrival of Mr. Tyler, Sr., who is overdue from a trip on his yacht, the protagonist is reassured by the assistant secretary of the yacht's timely departure. The sealed wireless equipment on the yacht adds an air of mystery, suggesting that communication is limited unless absolutely necessary.
