Question About Chapters of Seveneves

[Rob, Roberator]

I'm looking for someone with a text copy handy to answer a few questions about the chapters.

I'm ripping the audio book from CD to mp3 and the first 3/5ths of them had the track listings indicating the chapters (which is rare) but the rest don't.

According to the kindle preview this looks to be around part 3.

The chapter listing is as follows:

1. Dedication
....
15. Cleft

16. Part Three
17. The Habitat Ring Circa A-5000
18. Five Thousand Years Later
19. Epilogue

Now Looking at the preview it says Part One immediately followed by The Age of the One Moon with nothing in between, but the TOC lists them individually.

I also noticed Cloud Ark which seems to end part 1, continues into part 2 for awhile. Or so it seems from the pre-named track listing.

Either way this is all pretty confusing. I try to merge/tag files so I get one chapter/file. It looks like he only has a few chapters. Some of them VERY long.

So the labels cut off on disc 16, which appears to be part of the chapter called Cleft.

The last line of that before the narrator says Part Three is:

"The red light had shrunk to a pinprick, like the planet Mars, she thought, except sharper and more brilliant. Then silently it turned into a ball of yellow light that darkened as it spread"

Is this the end of that chapter (Cleft)?

The main problem I have is this: After he says, Part Three, he says Five Thousand Years Later. I never hear a track that starts with The Habitat Ring Circa A-5000.

Is the Kindle TOC messed up/misleading? Is part 3 just one huge chapter? I don't hit the epilogue till the second to last track of disc 25, which makes that chapter like 9 discs long. Then again Chapter 10 is like 5 discs long, so It seems feesible.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to get this ripped/tagged today so I have it ready to go for later this week.

Thanks.

Yes, Part Three is one huge chapter.

The section labelled The Habitat Ring Circa A-5000 is just a couple of pictures, one of the ethnic breakdown of the habitat ring and the other of the Eye.

Cool. Thanks Lindsay.

[Rob, Roberator]

Oh, and does Cloud Ark start in part 1 and end in part 2?

[Lindsay]

More or less. There doesn't seem to be a chapter heading at the start of Part Two other than "Day 700", but as you point out, that's not in the ToC.

So I think Cloud Ark is in two sections, one called Day 365 at the end of Part One and one called Day 700 at the start of Part Two.

Cool. Thanks again.
