WAR AND SEX: A Raunchy Action Comedy About Homeland Insecurity

Morty Shallman’s War and Sex is the provocative, transgressive, and audaciously irreverent follow-up to his #1 Best-selling Absurdist Novel, The Tyranny of Desire, hailed as “a comedic masterpiece” by Readers’ Favorite and as a “ribald and incisive provocation” by Booklife.

Part raunchy action comedy, part cunning political thriller, and part twisted romance, War and Sex tells the story of Captain Rod Solo, a Top Gun naval aviator turned ace CIA drone pilot with a problem: He can’t get it up when he’s trying to make love to his gorgeous wife, Lulu, and can’t get it down when he’s doing his job—blowing up terrorists via remote control for love of God and country.

When Rod’s peculiar form of PTSD (post-traumatic sex disorder) leads to tragedy, he must trade the safety of his cubicle in Langley for the mean streets of Karachi—and the even meaner streets of Washington, D.C.—to seek and destroy his targets with his bare hands… or die trying.

What follows is a darkly satirical skewering of American military misadventures and homeland insecurity in the post-9/11 era; a “Catch-22 for the 21st Century” that explores the absurd and often paradoxical dilemmas at the heart of America’s “forever wars” abroad, and uncivil wars at home.
