The Last Aerie
“The actuality of E-Branch—what its members did, what they were, their various talents—wasn’t a problem. Zek simply accepted it at face value, and knew it for a fact. In the old days, at the end of Gregor Borowitz’s term as Head of the Opposition, and again during Ivan Gerenko’s reign of terror, she had worked for Soviet E-Branch. Better still, she’d been a close friend of the Necroscope and had seen what he could do—and knew what he had been before he left for Starside. Which were qualification...s enough.
Then it was time to put them all in the picture. Including Ian Goodly. Things had happened in Perchorsk which Goodly still didn’t know about, and Trask wondered how he would take being told about them. On the other hand, perhaps he already knew what Trask would talk about. Things which were plain in Trask’s hindsight might very well have been known to Goodly in advance, before the event! Working with espers was hell.
Trask got them all seated and walked up and down in front of them for a moment or two to get his thoughts in order.MoreLess
