About this audiobook
Profound, contemplative, and gorgeous, Orbital is an eloquent meditation on space and a moving elegy to our humanity, environment, and planet.
Editor's Note
Fascinating…
Concise and contemplative, Harvey’s story follows six astronauts on a mission to orbit the Earth. Over 24 hours, we see their ruminations (on the universe, family, and life after death) and the inner workings of their research, both fascinating and mundane. This short novel highlights the beauty of our planet — and the human experience itself.
