Thematically, 5HC is closer to Short Sun, so if Wolfe was thinking "starcrosser" for Long Sun, that would indicate that he was thinking of the same universe. Or else, that he just likes the word and considered using it again. Or maybe that we ought to look for more 5HC themes in Long Sun than seem to be there (seem to me to be there, anyway). Same universe, then? Well, Briah is the Bang-gnaB of a previous universe, but the No. 5 seems to be a descendant of Wolfe, in this universe. So, "same universe" would not seem to be right. Yet, people from Lemuria/Atlantis building spaceships? That ain't OUR universe. So maybe No. 5 is a descendant of the Briah Wolfe, not of our Wolfe. Not that it matters. But it's fun to fool around with. Nutria ---
