Green Comet

This reading is chapter thirty-one of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy.

It’s another outdoor video introduction. They’re kind of fun. I might get in the habit.

In chapter thirty-one, the comet is in shock and in danger of an epidemic of suicides. They think about getting hold of Orange Comet, the only other one that might be able to evade the Visitor. In spite of the risk that the Visitor might be able to detect it, they decide to send a message to Orange. The declaration of their continued existence is well worth the danger.

Today’s reading is chapter thirty of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy.

Chapter thirty is short, but it’s a major turning point in the story. There’s an emergency meeting of the planning committee. It’s about the last message from the Envoy, sent out to meet the Visitor. The Visitor’s true nature is revealed. The people are left asking why.

Today’s reading is chapter twenty-nine of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy.

Since this is the Okanagan Reader, I decided to take this out of the studio and into the Okanagan valley. Naturally I picked a blustery day which made getting a clean recording impossible. I managed to figure out how to extract the audio so I could clean it up, but I didn’t manage to figure out how to put it back in. Instead, I stuck it in after the video, so you get it twice. Hopefully conditions are better next time I do this, or I manage to figure out how to edit it properly.

We are more than halfway through, and the best is yet to come. In chapter twenty-nine we witness the joining of the two comets. Elgin and Fran are in the bubble, along with Maria and her father, Tomas. Buzzard decides to go outside to watch.
