      Molly Parkinson is now Empress of the Sol Empire. First problem: ten million people have vanished from the newly discovered world of Bella. Second problem, Earth's population has dwindled because the corporations are using them to populate newly discovered worlds. Hence, unknown to Molly, the corporations have implanted everyone to "make babies". In a fog, Molly has six children, but Third Invader Katya is ordered to produce a dozen telepath babies. Third problem: the rogue robots threaten. Thus, the corporations create Telepath Squads by using the armless Galactic Doll mutation agent. Molly tried but failed to convince them this was a bad idea. The robots slowly gain control of Earth corporations by mutating key leaders, replacing them with a robot that looks like the person. After mutating them and removing their voices, some are shipped off to a decadent world to become "baronesses." Others are put through an extensive Baroness Training Program. Relatives of Molly are caught in this web. When she learns of this training program, Molly goes undercover to put an end to it. She must confront the rogue robot leader, Teslenko. In the end, she and many others move to Domes. Enter problem four. Long term exposure to the nearby pulsar created brain tumors.
