| Summary | "At the Time Appointed" by A. Maynard Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the protagonist, John Darrell, a young expert in mineralogy and metallurgy who finds himself embroiled in a life-changing adventure after a harrowing encounter on a train. As the narrative unfolds, Darrell navigates personal trials, relationships with the Underwood family, and the harsh realities of life in the West, ultimately seeking redemption and purpose amidst challenges that test his character. The opening of the novel introduces John Darrell's arrival at a small station in the western mountains, where he is immediately struck by the oppressive heat and desolation. Recently commissioned to evaluate a mining property, he reflects on losing valuable time due to a rival's movements and becomes aware of a looming competition. The atmosphere intensifies as he encounters other characters, including fellow passengers discussing mining affairs, revealing the high stakes of their endeavors. As Darrell prepares to head to Ophir to continue his work, he is subtly drawn into a web of intrigue that hints at both external conflicts and internal struggles that will shape his journey ahead.
