Dive into Amazon’s #1 New Dark Comedy Release
Morty Shallman’s “hilarious” and “thought-provoking” new anti-war novel 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 (that’s 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.
Will Rod succeed in his mission to destroy his enemies, foreign and domestic? Or will PT-SEX-D do him in? Grab your copy of WAR AND SEX today to find out.

What Critics are Saying
“Lusty, outraged, and so over-the-top it can see your house from up there, Shallman’s horned-up satire of war and sex, American style, has been crafted to shock, offend, provoke, and—for those open to its spirited sex and spearing of taboos—stir laughs and maybe insights, too.”
—Booklife by Publishers Weekly
“Boldly Political… [Shallman’s] use of hypersexuality to critique American imperial violence is certainly thought-provoking.”
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Like a Catch-22' for the 21st Century, War and Sex is a rollercoaster ride of dark humor and biting social commentary.”
