Baker is a science fiction novella written during the early 1940s. The book revolves around the character Wolf Larsen, a black pirate who attempts to steal the legendary Eye of Triton from an ancient temple located on the desolate moon of Neptune, Triton. The story explores themes of greed, survival, and the consequences of one's actions in a richly imagined extraterrestrial setting. In the narrative, Wolf Larsen is driven by the desire to obtain the Eye of Triton, a unique gem revered by the native Tritonians. As he navigates the treacherous environment of the moon and confronts its alien inhabitants, he employs cunning tactics to secure the Eye. However, his efforts culminate in an unexpected twist—the much-fabled Eye turns out to be nothing more than a block of ice, leaving him with nothing but a parched throat and a deadly injury. The novella ends with Larsen's darkly comedic demise, highlighting the futility of his quest and the perils of unchecked ambition in a cold and unforgiving universe.
