Midway through Chapter 4 of Ryk Spoor's _Grand Central Arena_, Ariane

Skylark series *many* times, and don't recall ever seeing him given
anything more than a middle initial.

Did Wasp have a canonical source for this middle name, or is it his
own invention?
That was in chapter 4 of _Spheres of Influence_,
Yeah, that's what I meant. Bad fingers!
(Apparently, they're not willing to accept the blame. :-<)
though somebody did
refer to Marc as Marc Cassius DuQuesne in _Grand Central Arena_.
I missed that reference.
I have
a vague recollection that this question was asked back when the book was
originally published, let's see if it was on Baen's Bar and if I can
find it (Google Groups is hopeless) ... sorry, couldn't find anything.
Okay, thanks for checking. And my apologies fro cluttering your mailbox.
