He began writing the first volume, also called ''Final Great War'' in [[2002]], publishing it in [[2007]]. The series depicts a {{wp|post-apocalyptic}} setting brought about by a digital [[Great Wars|great war]] between [[Caphiria]] and [[Levantia]], and deals with themes of loss, personal core values, endurance, and divergent perspectives. The conclusion of the series conveys Geronato's sense of the inevitability of human behavior and a total rejection of {{wp|presentism}} as well as the notion of a man-made apocalypse. Within this setting, survivors of the great war struggle on an individual and societal level at varying scales, ranging from individuals trying to stay alive to groups of survivors attempting to rebuild civilization. | ||
The series is comprised of six novels, five of which follow a consistent narrative and one of which is a prequel (2020's ''Beast of Seven Heads''). Geronato subsequently condensed material from ''Beast of Seven Heads'' with material from the first two novels to create ''The Time of War'' (2021, revised 2024) and ''All That Still Remains'' (2027). These condensed books were intended to provide easier entry points into the universe of ''Final Great War'' by new readers of the series, and are not considered to have replaced any of the standalone original texts. | The series is comprised of six novels, five of which follow a consistent narrative and one of which is a prequel (2020's ''Beast of Seven Heads'').
