As a major figure in Short Science Fiction, Electron Eat Electron Supreme General Hoshawk is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Chief of staff, skeptical of Wadsworth's youth and methods, but ultimately witnesses the President's strategic brilliance.
Hoshawk watches President Wadsworth undergo cosmic-ray conditioning with narrow, piercing eyes, barely restraining his contempt for a sixteen-year-old commander with an I.Q. of 340. He has spent thirty years resenting the Mutant College's arrangement, and he cannot quite accept that a man who moves faster than light can be trusted with seven hundred million lives. His skepticism gives the story its friction between institutional duty and personal doubt as war looms.
