The Death of the Universe: The Complete Trilogy
For many billions of years, humans—having conquered the curse of aging—spread throughout the entire Milky Way. They are able to live all their dreams, but to their great disappointment, no other intelligent species has ever been encountered. Now, humanity itself is on the brink of extinction because the universe is dying a protracted yet inevitable death.
They have only one hope: The ‘Rescue Project’ was designed to feed the black hole in the center of the galaxy until it becomes a quasar, delivering much-needed energy to humankind during its last breaths. But then something happens that no one ever expected—and humanity is forced to look at itself and its existence in an entirely new way.

Olom
Planet Suran is a paradise and offers the best conditions for life. Its diverse inhabitants are intelligent - all of them.

He has been lovingly raised by his three parents, but still he is missing something: a being just like him. No one else on Suran has only two legs and two arms. No one moves as clumsily. A strange photograph promises Olom help. But to uncover his origins, he must enter places that no Suran before him has ever explored. Are the builders themselves hiding there?
