Chapter 161

• The meeting room adjacent to the main hall was small. It had a long table, eight chairs, and a large map pinned to the wall with colored markers pressed into various points along the border.
• Six generals were already seated when they entered. Older men, mostly. Saul took his seat at the head of the table. "Gentlemen. As I mentioned, Mr. Smith has been operating inside the South for some time. I'd like us to hear what he knows."
• All eyes moved to Levian. He had sat across from harder rooms than this one. He folded his hands on the table and started talking.
