 What kind of person is Ron?
THE HUNTED HEROES By ROBERT SILVERBERG The planet itself was tough enough—barren, desolate, forbidding; enough to stop the most adventurous and dedicated. "What'samatter, Ron?" And that started the chain of events that led Val and me to end up as a madman's prisoners, on Mars. Project Sea-Dredge was trying to get uranium from the oceans. It's a stopgap effort, just to keep things moving until Project Sea-Dredge starts functioning. For a puzzled moment I thought it was our Dome, the settlement where all of UranCo's Geig Corps were located, but another look told me that this was actually quite near us and fairly small. A one-man Dome, of all things!
 A curious and determined man who does his best
 A curious and determined man who does his best  An impulsive man who does not pay attention to others' needs  A doting husband who follows his wife to Mars  An adventuresome soul but still a timid one
