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.
