Corporal Chauncy T. McClarren is a Vietnam Veteran. His ten years
of service as a marine are glibly worn on the sleeve of his dress
uniform well into civilian life. He went to Vietnam before the
draft began with the hope of being a martyr. He is reluctant to
admit this to his friend and even to himself. Elizabeth A Spaarkes
randomly selects Chauncy's door. She fleas to Florida after two
years in the Symbionese Liberation Army. She is the perfect woman.
She is a redheaded goddess. "Lizzy" is a nymphomaniac who fills his
every desire sexually, and eventually, domestically. Gunnery
Sergeant Harrold H. Coffman comes home from the war a paraplegic.
He owes his life to his Corporal. One day he learns on the news of
Spaarkes's possible involvement with the left-wing group. He
believes she is guilty. Chauncy chooses to give her the benefit of
the doubt. He refuses to believe a woman that beautiful could be a
fugitive. Agent of Orange is the story of a Rheinlandbastard.
Chauncy is a pragmatist who shifts the stations in life around so
the logistics favor him. It follows his trail of passively
sequencing fate from Vietnam to Florida. It leads him to the
Bahamas where he takes an orphaned boy back to Florida. Fate leads
him on a series of trips to Germany to learn his origin. It is the
story of a biracial miscreant who grew up unloved and beaten. It is
one man's perception of racism in America and abroad. He is taught
some manners and discipline in the marines. He faces a world that
begs for his attention as he begs for its salvation. The marines
outfit him with the diplomacy necessary to deal with what life has
thrown, and continues to throw, at him. Chauncy T. McClarren takes
his time in life. He orchestrates things while sauntering through
life with a grifting nonchalance. He is methodical and pragmatic
enough to see his various operations through to the end.
