"Although Trevelyan would pass into legend, he was never afterwards content in his work."

Miesel's interstitial passages change somewhat if only because more stories are included in the later collections.
Trevelyan passing into legend reminds me of Superman passing into legend, then myth. See Hugh Valland And Superman. Never forget Superman's science fictional origins. For more comparisons with works by Elliott S. Maggin, see here.

Kaor, Paul!
But I don't think we see ENOUGH of Trevelyan Micah ("The Pirate" and THE PEREGRINE) to justify Miesel's claim about him passing into legend. Nothing like the deeds and actds of Nicholas van Rijn and Dominic Flandy in another timeline. Deeds which justified them becoming legendary!
Ad astra! Sean
