In Primordium Book Three: Requiem, the leader of the few remaining humans on Earth dies before building A4-Ni, a universal constructor to spread their genome throughout space. His daughter, Akilah Rasmussen, steps forward to realize his dream. But will she persevere after she discovers that the genome is predestined to be destroyed and the only reason A4-Ni must be constructed is to ensure the creation of an alien craft, the Shepherd? Following the teachings of Truman Justis of Book Two, future Maraia in the year 10,0005 try to keep their DNA pure while under assault by the evil player Cardassin, a fiendish specimen without compassion or morality. Fanatically bent on destroying the Maraia and the Shepherd, he waits patiently for the few remaining Maraia to return to their ancestral home of Kanapoi in what was once northern Kenya, where the climate has become inhospitably arctic. They hope to find the exotic guardian of myth that holds the plans to construct A4-Ni, who will create the Shepherd in the distant past. Aided by the synthetic human, Michael, and the primitive Jamil, Akilah struggles to realize her father's dream, but at a terrible cost.

John Lohner, a paleoanthropologist on a dig in northern Kenya, is driven to distraction by an inner voice. But can he achieve peace of mind when the voice belongs to a mysterious life form intent on nurturing in him the only remaining pure strain of the alien genome responsible for mankind's humanity?

Set in 2020, this suspenseful tale blends romance and comedy with a serious moral dilemma: what happens when a man falls in love with the child cloned to save his life? Clonal Transplants, Inc. faces a crisis when a rogue technician illegally creates a sentient ten-year-old clone, Chloe, to provide 56-year-old Sam Turner with a new heart. Greedy CEO Andropov decides to keep Chloe alive, sedating her to pass her off as brain dead and collect payment. When laws change, he hands Chloe over to Turner, who is misled into believing he must take her to Mexico for the transplant. As they travel, Chloe's sedative wears off, revealing her as a charming girl who affectionately calls Sam "Grandpa." Their bond deepens, but Sam fears losing her to the authorities or Andropov, who regrets keeping her alive and seeks to rectify his mistake. In Mexico, their journey takes a dangerous turn when Chloe is kidnapped, leading to a heart attack for Sam. Now, he faces a critical choice: accept a perfectly matched heart from an unknown donor, unsure if it belongs to Chloe. The stakes are high as he fights to protect their newfound relationship.
