Transcendent is the third and final volume in Stephen Baxter's Destiny's Children trilogy. Unlike most trilogies, this set is only very loosely connected. All take place in the same universe but are spread out over the course of a half million years, showing the various ways in which humanity can change, and yet remain true to its core. This final volume takes place at both the present and the future and focuses on a young woman from a distant future and a man of our near future whose life she has been assigned to study.
