That wasn’t entirely true. He hadn’t saved Buffalo. He hadn’t saved Houston. Salt Lake and Boise and Sacramento were gone, fallen to improvised assaults ranging from kamikaze airliners to orbital nukes. Half a dozen other franchises were barely alive. Very few of those asses had been saved.
But to the rest of the Entropy Patrol, Achilles Desjardins was a hero ten times over. It had been obvious almost immediately that fifty CSIRA franchises ...were under directed and simultaneous attack across the western hemisphere, but it had been Desjardins and Desjardins alone who’d put the pieces together, under fire and on the fly.
