History Before Time: The Recitation (working title) — the second human, grounded backstory volume of the Jakobus arc, and the sibling to The Silver Thread: where that book is the Kalahari bush and the gift of peace, this is the Sahara and the Sahel and the gift of patience — the seasons Jakobus spent among Arabic-speaking desert people, learned the language, sat at the edge of the Quran, and carried out of it the setting-down of fear, without ever converting.
