- Book One: The Lachlan Incident
A geologist surveying the hill country above Taralga finds an object that should not exist - and a small team begins the patient work of understanding what has been waiting for 419 million years.
- Book Two: Lachlan Descent
A second anomaly, 748 metres below the Gundhang ridge, leads to the slow construction of a shared language between two intelligences from different worlds - and to the day the stasis field fails.
- Book Three: Lachlan Departure
A purpose-built facility at Bathurst, a rescue vessel waiting on the lunar far side, and an intelligence older than the first tree choosing its own ending on its own terms.
