First appearance: the mischievous typesetter
As a supporting figure in Short Science Fiction, Jeffrey Wadsworth is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
The young President of the United States of the Western Hemisphere, preparing for and executing the electronic war strategy.
Jeffrey Wadsworth sits before the Map in the Midwest Chamber, commanding rockets and explosive screens in a war where only the losing president will die. He chose this station deliberately, and Hoshawk watches him flick oxygen valves and fire salvos from Newfoundland to the Bahamas with a mind built for rapier calculation. His ice cream habit and his poised stillness make him both formidable and oddly human as the contest with Forgacs unfolds.
