Would-be songwriter and hard-living Uber driver Zebulon Angell stumbles onto a sex candy, launching him on an adventure that makes him the target of shady corporate players and ultimately leads him inside the not-so-empty tomb of China's first emperor. Zebulon Angell's life in an upscale suburb of Atlanta is a hot mess. He's scraping by and barely surviving his own mistakes. Things take a bizarre twist when a monkey turns up dead in his wife's luxury SUV. This leads him to "Tiger Penis," a sex boost, love potion, and maybe something else. Zebulon and his buddy, Nitro, become the front men for a product that could be worth billions, but they quickly find themselves in over their heads. Zebulon's estranged wife is the chief scientist working on Tiger Penis and has had enough of her husband's failings. Zebulon's boss is a seductress who definitely has her own agenda. Zebulon is confident he's up to the challenge. He's not. If Indiana Jones and James Bond teamed up with Travis Bickle, they'd still have a tough time digging out of the chaos Zebulon Angell creates for himself. Zebulon Angell and the Shadow Army mixes sex, the supernatural, history, international intrigue, and sharp wit to conjure up a wild ride with a spirited finale in the realm of the Son of Heaven. 1
