I never wanted a wife. But to secure everything I've fought for, I need one. Enter my brilliant, infuriatingly beautiful assistant, Kate. She's fighting a battle of her own. There's a little girl who needs her, and she'll do anything to keep her. Even agree to a play pretend marriage with me. It's strictly business. No feelings. No future.

No is the final, and perhaps most perplexing, chapter in the No-Point trilogy. If No-Point Perspective was the encyclopedia of nothingness for dummies and No-Point the professional's handbook, then No is the blank page at the end, the echo of a conversation that has finally run its course. Justin Allen and Andreas Müller, having exhausted all avenues of inquiry, meet face-to-face in Andreas' quaint village. The words dwindle, the silences grow longer, and the "no-point" reveals itself not as a concept to be grasped, but as what's apparently happening—life.
