In Tyler’s case this is a bit odd since he is an only child he and his widowed mother live in what is effectively the servants’ quarters across the lawn from the Big House owned by E.D. Much like Axis, Tyler Dupree suffers from middle child syndrome. My understanding is that this is a very good thing as I’ve read that Axis suffers from a strong case of middle book syndrome and Spin, despite some flaws, is strong enough that I am anxious to see where Wilson plans to take us with the rest of his story.
