S8 Ep25: The Year of the Locust with Terry Hayes

On today’s episode, Matt speaks with the global best-selling
author Terry Hayes. Following a storied career as a journalist,
Hollywood screenwriter, and film producer, his 2014 debut novel,
I Am Pilgrim, was a revelation in the spy genre and sold millions
of copies worldwide. Ten years later, Terry returns with a
long-anticipated follow-up, The Year of the Locust. They talk
about his creative inspirations, why the book took a decade to
complete, and how contemporary spy fiction can take a page from
epic fantasy and science fiction. Every bit as gritty, sweeping,
and intricately plotted as I Am Pilgrim, The Year of the Locust’s
bold bending of conventions will surely make it one of the most
talked-about thrillers of the year.
