"'[Stefan Rostomily] died five years ago. A cave-in. I buried him there on Mars.'
"The trees about them whispered with wind." (XVII, p. 114)
This wind whispers, of course.
Stef was a superman in two senses: first, a rare individual with every good quality - omnicompetent, inventive, creative, good as a person etc; secondly, he became the template of the apparently unkillable "Un-man."
In haste here. Have a good day.

Kaor, Paul!
From previous readings of these stories I knew Stefan was the source of the DNA used for cloning the UN-men.
Ad astra! Sean
