Treasure of Triton

About the author
Very little biographical information could be firmly confirmed about this author from reliable sources available online. Project Gutenberg and LibriVox both list Charles A. Baker as the author of Treasure of Triton, a science-fiction novella first published in Planet Stories in Spring 1941.
What can be said with confidence is that Baker is associated with classic magazine-era science fiction: Treasure of Triton is the work most clearly tied to the name in accessible public-domain records, and it has continued to circulate through ebook and audiobook archives long after its original publication.
Because trustworthy biographical details appear to be scarce, it is best to remember Baker through the fiction itself rather than through a well-documented life story. For readers who enjoy early space adventure, that surviving tale offers a small but intriguing glimpse into the pulp science-fiction world of the 1940s.
