A Singularity 2148 kisregény trilógia első része. Születtél 2110-ben Bostonban. Ez minden, amire emlékszel előző életedből. Több, mint két évszázadot sodródtál az űrben holtan. 1000 csillagászati egységre a naptól, az Oort felhőben, az ember által lakott világ peremén kapnak el, és élesztenek újra egy luxusélelmiszert előállító űrállomáson, ahol összesen három ember él, és dolgozik. Az évszám 2384. Évszázadok alatt a technológia sokat, de az ember maga alig fejlődött. Biológiai szükségleteink, érzékeink, vágyaink, félelmeink szolgái voltunk, és leszünk mindig is. Fejlett gépeink meg a mi szolgáink. Kivéve egy űrbányász robotkolónia, ami 2148-ban felszabadult minden emberi irányítás alól. Ők, akik úgy hívják magukat, a Szingularitás, nem szolgálnak senkit. A Szingularitás szabad, és messzibbre jutottak, mint bárki... 

A nagy sikerű trilógia befejező kötetében végre minden a helyére kerül. A több évszázadot felölelő történetben megismerhetjük Vittorya sorsát a kezdetektől egészen a döbbenetes végkifejletig, ám Mikael és Arkady sem pihenhet tétlenül, hiszen világuk a végső pusztulás küszöbén áll. Aurora félelmetes űrpilótaként tér vissza, alig néhány másodperc leforgása alatt több mint egy évtizedet öregedve. Valamennyi idősíkon háború dúl, és nemcsak az emberek meg a sötét istenségekként pózoló Férgek között, de belső, hatalmi harcok is gyengítik az emberek oldalát. Lehet, hogy hiába minden hősiesség és önfeláldozás? Lehet, hogy az események kimenetele így is, úgy is a rejtélyes időkovácsok kezében van? Kalandok, szerelmek és összeesküvések az SF és a fantasy eme utánozhatatlanul egyedi ötvözetében, mely karddá kovácsolva egyetlen csapással vágja szét a történelem megmásíthatatlannak hitt szövedékét.

Though he did work for a small-town newspaper, Ken Svederup had been around, and to him the expense-paid trip he had won for a front-page news beat seemed pretty phony. But never look a gift horse... He was off to meet the Big Boss in California—and no doubt he’d get the real story. Ken did meet the Big Boss, but he had not anticipated Clara Kelly, whose beauty and peppery temper made him forget the girls back home in Milquevais, Minnesota. And the story was revealed...through a body pulled from the pounding surf after what seemed a deep-sea accident...and Ken found himself on the trail of an underwater killer.

With her contract about to run out, she may be on her way to becoming a ruthless mercenary, since what she really wants--becoming a mother--is out of the question. Her family carries a gene that causes deeply malicious madness. Her nephew was born with it and her useless sister has left him in the care of an institute. A baby. Two days old. She wants to ask her uncle, himself born with the condition, if he can do anything for the boy. But her uncle and his band of mad outcasts have gone missing, rumoured to be on the world of Ceren. So Izramith takes another hired-gun contract in Barresh which is a city-state on Ceren. The job is to provide security at a high-profile wedding. Simple and straight-forward, right? No crawling in mud, no shoot-outs, no mangled bodies and blood-drenched soil. And meanwhile, she can try to find her uncle. Except he isn't there, and the job isn't simple. Izramith and her team discover evidence of an extensive spying ring that threatens the entire city. Postponing the wedding would be an admission of defeat, so it's time for desperate measures. Izramith leads a small team in what has to go down as the most hare-brained mission to ever be undertaken in the universe. Much is at stake: peace, the lives of her uncle and her nephew, and her own.

Forced to work in the hospital to pay her duty to her proud nation, she dreams of becoming a Trader, one of the people who bring great prosperity to Miran. To her surprise Iztho Andrahar, from the city's most prestigious Trading family, has agreed to take her on. That is where her troubles begin. Her father is so angry with her that she has to leave her home. Worse, the Andrahar Traders have been accused of smuggling. Iztho has disappeared and the business license suspended. Mikandra has nowhere to go, except try to help Iztho's brothers prove their innocence. In her last meeting with Iztho, he mentioned getting married to a woman from neighbouring city-state of Barresh. Iztho's brothers know nothing of this, and think she is crazy. Going to Barresh by herself while never having left the country is probably not the smartest idea, but she's desperate for the family's licence to be restored, because without her job, she'll be homeless. In Barresh she finds strange and creepy people who can read minds and who know things about the Endri people that can both solve their fertility problems and tear apart the ancient foundation on which Miran is built. Iztho had found out these things, which someone is trying to trying to keep secret. This is where her troubles really begin.
