The planet awakes, unleashing a hidden fury. Caught at the epicenter of the first earthquake in centuries, Dabaz Huavossa soon finds it was merely the harbinger of a vast misery. With his utopian world suddenly collapsing around him, he is forced to confront a growing dread: all life is pointless when trapped in a rush to the grave.
Craving more than mere survival, Dabaz unwittingly binds himself to an unexpected mentor—a member of the strange race of people called the Immortals, who claim to hold the answer. His scrabbling for a life worth living blinds him to the fact that he is equipping his increasingly savage society for the ultimate battle.
The Seventh Age ponders that mysterious prophecy about the Creator living on earth as a man, ruling as its king for a thousand years, and it explores the ensuing questions: What would “reigning with Christ” entail? What predicaments arise when resurrected saints live alongside mortal men? What would it look like for the lifeless curse of Eden to revive? Why would an iron scepter permit a mutiny? At death, don’t saints have all their tears wiped away and enter everlasting, untainted bliss? Told in the style of an epic fantasy, The Seventh Age explores these speculations as Tom Ericson finds himself engaged in even deeper philosophical and metaphysical ruminations.
