About this ebook

Let Us Be Released is the conclusion to the Allies and Adversaries series.

Kolob reaches a crisis of spirit, and decides to commit suicide, but Arciss is there for support. What will the newly reintegrated Kolob do; join the Rell, or forge a new path unforeseen by all? Graid still struggles to become the leader and man his people have hoped for, and more and more he realizes his time is running short. Suld and OLMAC suffer massive setbacks, and he becomes desperate to still find a way to defeat Mal. And against the backdrop of war and personal failures is the struggle of a woman and her son, Ellore and Dobrin, whose relationship has endured so much, must now endure Ellore's election to Sovereign, and Dobrin's most grievous betrayal. The people of Novan hang upon a precipice, and decisions made will determine if they fall.

Allies and Adversaries begins with The Great Leap Forward, continues in A Means to an End, and concludes in this final volume, Let Us be Released, all available now.

It's been a long journey writing these books. I suppose I should tell you about the big work; Allies and Adversaries. It is a massive exercise in world-building. I've spent almost ten years writing the eight volumes that make up this title. It isn't set on the Earth, which was important for me, as I wanted it to be all mine, from its history, to is future, to the relationship the planet Novan has to the rest of the universe. Like any long work, it requires a little bit of patience, especially with the first volume, Cracked Dagger. But I assure you, the path is well laid out, and has many exciting twists and turns leading to a satisfying conclusion.Seventh Age of Man is set on Earth, and has three volumes: Regeneration, Maturation, and Dessication. Dessication is due out soon, hopefully by the end of 2014. It's an epic story based in war, which chronicles the rise and fall of Brian Torres, the boy who grows into a tyrant who controls all of Earth.
