It's 2056, and President Josh Hawley needs to secure his legacy. Jason Ahn, a novice propulsion engineer at NASA is called upon to champion a journey to Centauri Proxima b, the nearest, possibly habitable, planet outside our solar system. At 4.1 light years from Earth, the project is complicated by the President's desire for humanity to colonize the yet unreachable and little known world.
A cynic, Ahn doubts his own abilities, but ventures forward, to plan the mission assigned only a few months before the 2056 Presidential election, building a team that includes his father, a graphic novelist, and a superhuman woman whose only previous experience is as an animal manager at a zoological garden.
Will he succeed?
Singularity 3.0, the third and final book in the Singularity series, explores the nature of discovery, and humanity's need for a sense of purpose in the cosmos. The story is told through the lives of a series of characters, some new to 3.0, as well as a few from the two previous books in the Singularity Trilogy. As in all three novels, the science is based on existing theories and facts gleaned from documented articles, books and papers, as well as theoretical explorations in progress at this moment in history.
