Combat Tours Unlimited

"Paint it Black" by Combat Tours Unlimited takes readers on a dark journey, reimagining our world with a stark, nihilistic brush.

Set against Thailand's conflict-ridden south, it's a tale woven with religious symbols, depicting a world steeped in violence, lust, and moral ambiguity. A poignant exploration of individual compromise in a morally complex world.

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

He comes from a literary oriented family. His sister, Amy Elizabeth Smith has enjoyed great literary success with her book All Roads Lead To Jane Austen: A Yearlong Journey With Jane. Shawn Smith’s lifelong fascination with popular culture, sexual ambivalence and criminology is evident throughout Combat Tours Unlimited.
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.
