Walter and Layla Lemon, aka Big Popi and Li’l Freckles have finally found peace.

One fall day during their daily five mile run around their rural property, the state and county police plus the entire local volunteer fire department scream past their property. Popi said, “There must be a fire at a top secret government donut farm.” As it turns out, a hermit with an illegal zoo, fearing a government raid turned all of his dangerous wild animals loose. For a week, federal agents tracked down and slaughtered the dangerous animals. Finally the last of the predators were killed and Popi allowed Layla to resume their five mile runs.

In their three years of marriage, Popi had never beaten Layla, not even close. During their week off, He trained in secret, determined to finally beat his darling Layla. He did win, but when Layla failed to meet him at the finish line, he knew something was seriously wrong. He ran back up the trail and saw that Layla was cornered by a huge tiger. Popi attacked the beast and was sent flying ten feet into a ditch. While struggling to breathe, Popi saw signs that the tiger was sexually attracted to his wife. While Popi was in the hospital, Layla captured her tiger. She named him Czar.

The ensuing adventures take Popi and Li’l Freckles to ancient Ireland, present day Russia and 2035 Siberia.
