Treasure of Triton

by Charles A. Baker

About the author

Charles A. Baker is credited with writing science fiction stories, and the clearest confirmed title linked to him online is Treasure of Triton. That story originally appeared in Planet Stories in Spring 1941 and has since been made available through Project Gutenberg and listed by LibriVox.

The surviving record is surprisingly thin, so a full personal biography is hard to pin down with confidence. Based on the sources available, he appears to be one of those pulp-era authors whose fiction lasted more visibly than the details of his life.

For readers, that means the focus stays on the story itself: brisk, imaginative adventure from the golden-age magazine world, with all the energy and wonder that era is known for.
