Teddy, Ken's adopted son, runs away from home to join his father, who is imprisoned in Rapid City Penitentiary. During his train ride, Teddy reads Ken's third dime novel "Out of time".
While in "Umana avventura" and in "L'inaffidabile" Ken tells of the events that happened to him during the period of his fugitive in Canada, "Out of Time" is chronologically even prior to Ken's arrival in Boston (see n.54 ), being set in the summer of 1878.
Yann, unjustly accused of killing the elderly lord of Kermellec, finds himself alone and with no way out, chased by soldiers, while the crew of his ship, the "Medusa", has been imprisoned. Who trapped him? and how will he manage to reach the open sea again?
First episode of French album Yann di Kermeur - Lo sparviero.
