1984: the dirty days of American territorial wrestling. Baltimore's top wrestling star, King Snake MacEvoy, leaves his abusive and foul-mouthed promoter, Matt Gash, for more money and a starring role in New York. A big mistake: soon, both Snake's career and Gash's business are on the road to ruin. Snake faces a gang of sociopathic locker room bullies and sabotage by his ruthless new boss. The half-mad Gash scrambles to find new stars among the unskilled or even unhinged wrestlers within his reach. For men like these, in times like these, the only ending will be an ending in blood. This novel tells the stories of men and women in a hard, dangerous, outlaw business, fighting for their lives, careers, and hearts. Warning: This book is recommended for mature readers only. It contains extensive profanity, extreme violence, racist language, and sexual material.

I got the feeling I was attending the school by correspondence, and that the magic was authentic. A seemingly dull curriculum turns out to be otherwise. Simon has friends and enemies and aspires to romance as he struggles to make his way. This is good reading." -- Piers Anthony, world-famous fantasy author Keep up with news and updates about School of the Ages: schooloftheages.webs.com facebook dot com backslash schooloftheages twitter @schoolofthages Matt Posner is the author of School of the Ages series, of How to Write Dialogue (a fun manual for writers) and, with Jess C.
