About this audiobook
A NARRATIVE OF ARRIVAL: THE SPECIAL EDITION TRILOGY gathers nine volumes of Gemini Cool's speculative cosmology into one binding of three parts. Part One, The Telling, contains the three narratives: The Attention of the Whole Earth, The Long Afternoon, and The Older Glass, which recount the event, its aftermath, and the deep past that precedes it. Part Two, The Witness, holds the two testimonies, Attendance and The Count, works that sit between story and document, recording what people saw and counted. Part Three, The Record, collects the reference volumes: The Lower Atlas and The Wide Reckoning in two parts, cataloguing civilizations, races, the Residents, and the chronology of contact. Framing essays open the whole and each part, tracing the shift from narrative to testimony to record. Together they follow the arrival from first witness to final accounting. The edition includes a full chronology appendix, an edition note, and three-band cover art. Crabtree Library.
