Of course I don't have my library with me at the moment and I may get
this wrong, but - I believe he was a character in _Between Worlds_ (is
that the real title).  The story, which I am a lot more sure of, is a
boy, Don something, who does some traveling by himself, ends up on
Venus during the Venusian revolt against Earth, fights with the
rebellian.  It turns out that he is carrying s secret message in his
rign from his father to scientists on Venus which will enable them to
do something which will help stop the war.  Sound familiar?
Sir Issac was a Venusian scientist.
