Christopher Priest talks about US Agent: American Fanatic
“‘American Zealot’ is a moral play told in five acts,” says Priest. “John Walker has been fired. Or has resigned. It depends on who is telling the story. Now that he’s finding his way as a civil government contractor, Walker is making more money and taking more risks as he can now venture into places agents can’t always go. However, with limited access to official intelligence data, the missions of the now ex-agent can and often do lead him to dead ends from which he will have to get out on his own. ”
“I’m delighted to be invited back to Captain America,” Priest continues, “until I realized it was this guy, Cap’s misfit cousin, scowling and emotionally damaged. Cousin America. But USAGENT presents an exciting challenge for the writer who explores the multiple expressions and aspirations of the American dream, how that dream is fulfilled or not, through the eyes and voices of a nation often at war with itself. John Walker is a man in constant war with himself, so he is ideal for this journey through the many visions of this nation. ”
