Last Race: Singularity is the final book in the Last Race Trilogy; the time is midway through the fourth millennium and on New Earth many things once thought to be ridiculous have become common place. Numerous barriers considered insurmountable by third millennium scientists have been overcome.Mother Nature's strategy to replace selfishness with altruism has been a resounding success and consequently man has made giant strides in all his fields of endeavour, including exploration of the universe.Contrary to the beliefs, hopes and arguments of third millennium scientists, that there must be an infinite number of opportunities for life to exist elsewhere in the cosmos, fourth millennium scientists have found no evidence to support this belief and there is a growing body of opinion that believes, thanks to an extraordinary sequence of accidents, Earth, and now New Earth are the only places where biological life forms exist.The Guardian, the once lowly orphan Mary, is still troubled she was forced to embrace principles so abhorrent to her, and Mother Nature, to neutralise the threat to New Earth, and derived no satisfaction from her success in neutralising another race, even a non-human one.Mary's ability to protect biological life continues to be tested to the very limit and having neutralised the threat from her long standing adversary she now faces a new challenge of almost unimaginable magnitude, a threat that extends way beyond the human race. Mary is forced to look beyond her own, not inconsiderable, resources and forges an alliance with a most unlikely ally.Man has made giant strides in the few seconds he has existed on the cosmic clock but in a universe driven by the forces of entropy can he really expect to be master of his own fate? And in a cosmos where evolution is the second driving force, with its remorseless outriders of mutation and selection, can man expect to escape the very dynamics that gave rise to his existence? And if he can't what happens next?
