Resurrecting The King Stafford L Battle

Revive an Evil Tyrant to Prevent the Next Great War of Africa. Professor Joshua Cassidy is a rare genius of Irish and African descent. He embraces two worlds -- science and magic. He is an atheist and priest. He has a light and dark side. But his reckless indulgence in supernatural activities has become troublesome. His scientific peers ridicule his research and published papers that discuss reviving deceased humans. None of his personal relationships are satisfying because of his indulgence in the occult. Sanity is at risk as he dares to solve the greatest mystery of humankind - life, death and rebirth. When some of his experiments fail, voices invaded his mind, making it difficult to conduct his daily affairs. He is cursed. He drools and speaks nonsense. He is ridiculed. Frustrated, Joshua decides to end it all.

As he commences a final walk into the turbulent Atlantic Ocean, a beautiful jazz singer blocks his path, and begs him to use his powers to bring back from the dead a great leader to govern a struggling African nation and save a continent. Rival jungle warlords are threatening to unleash nuclear devastation in Africa and beyond. She wants to bring forth from hell a terrifying warrior under her control to stop the conflicts. She promises to give Joshua anything he desires if he can resurrect Shaka, King of the Zulu to ruthlessly rule the modern world.

Joshua is filled with inspiration and dread. The Voices in his head scream that disaster will occur if he doesn't take the proper action. But resurrection is not an easy task. First, you have to grow a body; then you need to reach deep into the realm of dead souls to snatch back the one person you seek among billions of entities--human, angels and demons all desperately seeking to breathe again. If Joshua makes a single mistake, the entire human race could be overwhelmed by blood-seeking entities escaping the iron gates of oblivion.
