  Emilie Kip Baker was a woman ahead of her time. Born in San Francisco in 1857, she grew up in a wealthy family and received a private education, which was uncommon for women then. Baker was a natural adventurer and a writer from a young age. She embarked on her first solo trip at the age of 20, traveling across the United States by train and writing about her experiences for various publications. 
  Baker's passion for travel and adventure only grew from there. She traveled to remote corners of the globe, including China, India, and the Middle East, when it was uncommon for women to travel alone. She was often the only woman in her party, and her presence was met with surprise and curiosity by the people she encountered on her journeys. 
   
  Baker's travels were chronicled in several books, including A Daughter of the Snows, published in 1902, which documented her experiences in Alaska during the gold rush, and Through Persia by Caravan, published in 1898, which explored her journey across Persia. Her writing was marked by a keen sense of observation, a deep curiosity about the world, and a genuine love for travel and adventure. She also wrote articles for popular magazines of the time, such as Harper's, The Atlantic, and McClure's. 
   
  Baker's work as a travel writer was not without its challenges. As a woman traveling alone, she often encountered suspicion, hostility, and even danger. She was once arrested and accused of being a spy while traveling in China and narrowly escaped being sold into slavery while traveling in Central Asia. Despite these challenges, Baker remained undeterred and continued to travel and write throughout her life.

  “A space opera to rival the best the field has ever seen.”—Science Fiction Chronicle      Beginning a new trilogy set in Kevin J. Anderson’s beloved Seven Suns universe, and a horrific new danger threatens the entire Spiral Arm.   Two decades after the end of the horrific Hydrogue War, a group of independent gypsy clans, the Roamers, operate giant floating skymines in the clouds of gas-giant planets, where they harvest stardrive fuel at great risk, and great profit.   On the planet Theroc, capital of the vast Confederation, humans live inside a gigantic worldforest whose towering trees are all interconnected in a single mind, which telepathic “green priests” can use for interstellar communication.    The stagnant alien Ildiran Empire once ruled the entire Spiral Arm, but they are unprepared for human politics and ambitions.   Upon this galactic canvas, a large expeditionary ship goes off to explore farther than any human or Ildiran has ever ventured. Beyond the edge of the Spiral Arm, they encounter a mysterious and ominous dark nebula, a huge black cloud so opaque that even starlight cannot penetrate it. The explorers are horrified when the dark nebula begins to expand exponentially.   The races of the Spiral Arm will be faced with an evil so ancient that knowledge of its very existence has been obliterated, but it will threaten all life, all planets, and even the fabric of the universe itself.
