  <default-description>The Reverend Jesse Custer is a Texas minister who swears worse than a sailor and is not above killing people who get in his way. One might say he's lost his faith. No, he's just looking for God, and when he finds Him... &lt;I&gt;Proud Americans&lt;/I&gt; is another sick and fun addition to the Preacher series. This book contains three story lines: One, a short tale about Custer's father in Vietnam. Two, a recounting of the transformation of Custer's Irish buddy Cassidy into a vampire and his coming to America. And three, the conclusion to the story begun in &lt;I&gt;Preacher: Until the End of the World&lt;/I&gt;, the story of the angelic mafia (known as the Grail) who have come after Reverend Custer and the secret power inside him called &quot;Genesis.&quot; &lt;I&gt;--Jim Pascoe&lt;/I&gt;</default-description>
