Midway through Chapter 4 of Ryk Spoor's _Grand Central Arena_, Ariane
addresses DuQuesne as "Marc Cassius DuQuesne". Now, I've read the
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?

The name of the story is "A Sound of Thunder".
It was written by Ray Bradbury. You're welcome.
