Zeus, yes the god and former tyrant, is living anonymously in the hills of Los Angeles when he gets an unexpected marriage proposal, which triggers a mid-life crisis. He fights to find renewed purpose and even considers coming out of the shadows and reclaiming his power. Things get worse when an ancient, vengeful force closes in on him and his loved ones. Zeus considers reassuming his powers, since everything is on the line.
Living forever has many problems, like losing everyone you love and carrying around baggage from countless lifetimes. In this memoir, Zeus recounts memories of the Big Bang, the early development of humankind, ancient battles for democracy, and the rise of America—he has seen it all. And, he's met everyone from Socrates to Washington to John Lennon. Zeus has evolved to have great empathy for our plight—life and death—and now embraces democracy as humankind's best way forward.
