Tolkien wrote and rewrote and rewrote and rewrote drafts. Like The Fall of Gondolin, this is not going to be a cover to cover story. It is going to be up to several attempts by Tolkien to tell the story, edited by and along with Christopher Tolkien's commentary. It is going to reveal few precious morsels about Numenor. Ultimately, the content itself is only going to amount to a short story, but told a few different times in slightly different ways. We already know the story, the outline of it, anyway. So now we'll get some fine detail here and there as well.
