The Room and the Chair

A ridiculed night editor for a prestigious newspaper. An overburdened nuclear engineer. A female fighter pilot. A religiously impassioned young reporter. A sergeant major thrust into the responsibilities of a secretive command. Moving from a newsroom in the American capital to a cockpit over Afghanistan, from an Iranian cemetery to a military intelligence office in suburban Washington, The Room and The Chair by Lorraine Adams—award-winning author of Harbor—is an unforgettable, groundbreaking novel about the often overlooked actors in today’s dangerous world. From the Trade Paperback edition.
