A few years ago, in a restaurant near a studio where I was producing a series of industrial tire sales videos, I happened to share the patio with an X-rated movie director and his cast of performers on the evening before they were about to begin a new production.

Watching and listening to the group interact sparked this novel.

I was moved by what I saw: young males, the trigger pullers in the military, and young women, the focus of today’s multi-billion dollar porn industry, are powered by the same raw testosterone that’s at the heart of war. Both are powered by Dick.
