About this series
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.

- The Seventh Age of Man: Regeneration
The Earth has been devastated by tragedy. After an alien voice broadcasts a Countdown around the world, all life above water ages 50 years. All plant and animal life is gone in an instant, and all humans age 50 years. The stars change, signaling the Earth has traveled to a new location. The survivors are faced with two daunting tasks; how do they recover from disaster, and how can they prevail? The children of the new generation will try. Prototype. Archetype. Grunt. They are the three classes of the new Homestead. Children who must learn the technology of the old world to rebuild it. Children entrusted with the survival of humanity. Children who want to enjoy their childhood, instead of pulling dead bodies from the fallen cities, or have sex to continue the species. The Seventh Age of Man has begun. There is no guarantee that there will be an Eighth. The Seventh Age of Man begins with Regeneration, continues in Maturation, and concludes in Dessication.

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.
