Overview

Paint it black. That's what Combat Tours Unlimited does — takes our gray postmodern, postmortem, post-history, post-ethics, post-Toasties world and paints it black. From the Book of Job to the banks of a stinking jungle river in the south of Thailand, or what used to be Thailand, this novella takes you through a guided tour both of a post-apocalyptic war and of postmodern hypocrisy on sex, death, and spirit. Set largely on the battlefields of Thailand's troubled southern provinces in the year 2016, Combat Tours is a lyrically written novella, dripping with religious iconography and depicting an amoral, blood stained world of violence, lust and personal compromise.

He lived in Egypt, South Africa, France and Italy before finally Thailand, where he has spent much of the past decade.

Shawn Smith’s lifelong fascination with popular culture, sexual ambivalence and criminology is evident throughout Combat Tours Unlimited.
