Winning the ultimate battle of survival does not require staying alive...
The planet awakes, unleashing a hidden fury. Caught at the epicenter of the first earthquake in centuries, Dabaz Huavossa soon finds it was only the harbinger of a vast misery to follow. And though his utopian world is suddenly disintegrating around him, Dabaz craves more than mere survival.
Unwittingly binding himself to an unexpected mentor--the highest leader of his land, a member of the strange race of people called the Immortals-- Dabaz is forced to confront life's deepest questions, while increasingly mistrusting this one who claims to hold the answers.
Dabaz fights a growing dread: all life is pointless when trapped in a rush to the grave. His scrabbling for a life worth living pits him against all he holds dear and blinds him to the fact that he is equipping his increasingly savage society for the ultimate battle--the battle with no neutral ground--the battle in which choosing whom to trust is choosing whether to live or die--the battle that determines not just Dabaz's fate, but the ultimate fate of mankind.
A story that defies easy categorization, The Seventh Age deftly combines many subsets of speculative fiction: it is a scientific/metaphysical, utopian/dystopian, mythical/historical, distorted hero's journey interwoven with philosophical rumination. The reader will be engrossed, will certainly be called upon to think, and will perhaps come away profoundly changed.
