{"product_id":"2940151270205","title":"The Seventh Age","description":"Winning the ultimate battle of survival does not require staying alive...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003eUnwittingly 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.\u003cbr\u003eDabaz 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.\u003cbr\u003eA 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.","brand":"Verse Five Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073634222320,"sku":"2940151270205","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151270205_p0.jpg?v=1764008148","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151270205","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
