Part of Congregation — Book 3

On the first of March, at 17:00 Universal Time, the species will knock.

The repair has crossed its threshold. The date is set. Two billion people prepare to keep one hour together — in churches and gurdwaras and terreiros, on hospital wards and in control rooms, on a street in Accra where a family has kept the account of a destroyed grove for forty years without missing a Saturday.

And the hour is kept. And the door is answered. And what answers has been waiting — not for humanity's instruments, but for its faithfulness — with a place already shaped at a table older than the sun.

A first contact story that ends in something rarer than transcendence: being known.

The trilogy is complete.
