  It’s 2019. There’s been another world war. Space travel is now a thing. 
  Dr. Elise Marquette has been hired by an organization that aims to conduct first contact missions for corporate clients. With her experience in archaeology fieldwork, identifying the dead during the last war, and her ability to understand and adapt to any culture, she’s an understated asset to humanity’s desire to explore the cosmos via the newly discovered portal, the Main Gate. 
  But experience comes with a price. 
  What makes Elise an asset, also makes her a risk. Five years isn’t enough time to recover and heal the trauma she endured during the war. The recent death of her overbearing mother brings Elise head-to-head with a lifetime of unresolved childhood traumas as she’s conducting Earth’s initial first contact mission. 
  Will Elise’s past put the Earth’s future at risk?

  Stella Benson was born on the 6th January 1892 in Easthope, Shropshire to parents who were landed gentry. 
   
  Her early years involved frequent household moves which was difficult for the child as she suffered from ill-health.  Some of her early education was spent at schools in Germany and Switzerland and by 10 she had developed a lifelong habit of keeping a diary. 
   
  In the following years her parents separated, and she rarely saw her father. When she did, he encouraged to pause her writing until she had further experience and could better make sense of the world.  When he died, she learned he had been an alcoholic. 
   
  A winter spent in the West Indies provided material for her first novel ‘I Pose’ published the following year in 1915. 
   
  During the War years she became involved in the women's suffrage movement and dedicated time outside of writing to support the troops and help the poor. 
   
  In 1918 she decided to travel spending much time in California, where she also tutored at the University of California, and continued to write.  In China she met her future husband and after marrying in London, journeyed with him to his various Custom postings through Nanning, Beihai, and Hong Kong and the Far East. 
   
  The works continued to flow novels, short stories, travel essays all helped to build a deserved and burgeoning reputation. 
   
  Although her works are now in the forgotten and neglected department her writing style, characters, and narratives more than capably demonstrate her obvious talents.   
   
  Stella Benson died of pneumonia on the 7th December 1933, at Hạ Long in the Vietnamese province of Tonkin.  She was 40.
