See this post for an essay by Monica Feng Wu at the Universidad de Costa Rica on Chapter Thirteen.

Today’s reading is chapters twelve and thirteen of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy. Chapter twelve is extremely short, so again there are two this time. We’re back in the past, where strange lights in the sky herald the first appearance of the mysterious Visitor. You might remember that I told you that the first thirteen chapters were like a prologue to the story proper. Today marks the end of the beginning.

Today’s reading is chapter ten of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy. We’re getting into the serious business of life on the comet. Elgin does some research in the “Commons,” an information database. He looks up “armful” and the Francesians. He reacts to the misinformation and the nastiness. He experiences the familiar pain of his solitary waking.
