'Bubo is a proud, strong and stoic gorilla. He is the pride of the Zoo. Its main attraction. Visitors come in waves to gaze upon his majesty and mystique.

'But when a series of chilling events tarnish his unblemished reputation, drastic measures must be used to win back the public’s favour.

'With a sultry new ad campaign and a cast of over-the-top characters, hilarity ensues as Bubo is pushed and pulled into an arena, he is not only ill-equipped for, but one that he never imagined he would shine so brightly in.'  (Publication summary)

'It's his birthday. It's George's birthday. Well it was. Yesterday was his birthday. 42. He's 42 years old. And god does he feel it.

'His wife keeps him young though, Peggy does. And the girls. He's got two little girls. Little rat bags more like. But he loves them. Can't imagine a life without them.

'George seems to have it all. A simple life for a simple man. And nothing will change that. But tonight, on his birthday, he will come face to face with the brutal hand of fate and confront an unknown that we all fear, death.'
