The absurd tale of an unlikely soldier forced to fight a war that, quite possibly, does not exist.
Saul Dressing is a flabby middle-aged librarian who just wants to be left alone to listen to jazz, watch porn, and cultivate his toenails. All of this changes when a soldier in a camouflage sweat suit shows up to draft him into the army of the United States of Everything. His mission is simple: go to a foreign country no one has ever heard of and incite the opposition to strike first. All alone in the middle of a desert with no enemy in sight, Saul must come to terms with the absurdity of his situation. Thus begins a surreal journey into the politics of war, consumerism, and giant robots.
It's Rambo meets Waiting for Godot in this subversive satire of American values and the scope of the human imagination.

What's the scheduled release date for this one? Any clue yet (I'm patiently (well, semi-patiently) waiting for it and Sorrow King to be on my doorstep.
Oh shit, this looks phenomenal...
When's it come out?
Thanks, guys! It's been sent to the printer so it should be within a couple of weeks.
It's up on Amazon today and has been ordered! Can't wait!
Thanks a lot, Scott!
I'm just glad to have more to read from you. Morning is Dead was phenomenal, and I'm still waiting on some kind of update for the Sorrow King's publication date... I didn't read the preview until after I'd already ordered it, and that's had me chomping at the bit for it to come out...
