In this final Volume III, Maggie faces many powerful potential enemies and the possible end of the Universe. At first the Clicker's, an insectoid race of beings, try to take over the Earth's and Tillian 5's android population. Next, the Overseer decides he wants Maggie to himself. That event is followed by the Assemblers, an emotionless race of machines, who want to reform all planets in their path to their purpose by extinguishing all biological life. Finally, Maggie and her small band of androids face a challenge beyond this Universe. Throughout, Maggie uses love, sex and her vast intelligence combined with Keeper technology as her toolkit to solve problems often with unintended consequences. Always looming in the shadow is the androids' preoccupation with sex, their drug of choice, which periodically threatens to absorb them into a virtual world of pleasure to the exclusion of reality and humanity.
