Beverlee answers “meh, so far it is full of USA...”

Tash E asked this question about I Am Pilgrim:

meh, so far it is full of USA propaganda... Well written, but the BS is getting old. Fast. Hope it moves away from the 9/11, and 'American agents save the world' trash soon...?

I usually prefer books that have more dialog than narrative, but this writer handled this so well. The scary part for me, is that this could actually happen. The protagonists remark, as best remembered: When a people continually threaten you, god-fearing people or not, you'd better listen. Unfortunately, as demonstrated in this story, our bureaucracy doesn't have a lot of great listeners. The way this was handled by a very few, was astounding and wonderful. I found it not at all about propaganda, in fact, showing just the opposite. Does anyone hope our "agents" will not try to save the world from a horror like this? I just hope the many agencies that are supposed to do this, cooperative and use their heads instead of their politics. (less)
