About this book
Callum Wren is a xenoanthropologist whose survey ship goes down hard in an unmapped valley. Patch the hull, keep the AI talking, share the rations, and learn the local rules before they learn you.
Arrival covers the crash and first contact. Survival fiction built on practical work instead of combat: shelter, tools, trust, and the realization that the valley's strangeness acts more like weather than a spell list.
