The Seventh Age of Man: Maturation

It's time for Brian to grow up.

The world has heard another Countdown, and life has aged across its surface. Brian, new leader of the Homestead, finds himself the one responsible for not only bringing back his civilization, but his planet as well. Though his people are demoralized, he must make them strong. Though many wish to see him replaced, he must overcome their challenges. His people are hungry, and he must feed them. And through it all, at his side, stands Gustav, a living weapon. It is he Brian must keep closer than all others, for they are two halves of the same coin. Without Gustav, he will fall. But it will take more than a living weapon to regenerate the human race once again; it will take a maturation of spirit, and perhaps acceptance of those who have betrayed him. It will take the sure hand of a dictator, who will hurt his people now, so they will prosper later. It will take the moves of a chess Grandmaster to outwit his opponents, and bring his people to the point that they are ready to breed, ready to work, and ready to learn.

Maturation is the second volume in a three volume series. Regeneration, the first volume, is available now, while the third volume, Dessication, will be out soon.
