    • Molly Parkinson finally tracks down a huge clue to the location of the rogue robot manufacturing plant. When she visits the man who knows, she finds he has been killed by a rogue robot. Stan mailed her a package containing his findings, so she and the Admiral go in search of the rogues. However, the rogue robots discover her meddling. They kidnap her and dump her on an isolated planet, which is one of the Third Invader human experimentals. Bella is run by women. The Third Invaders seeded Bella with a thousand humans from Rome, circa 0 AD. These people are deeply religious, but their society is divided into those who worship God, those who worship the pagan Roman gods, and those who do not worship any god. Molly gets an unexpected rescue by a Third Invader acquaintance and her Sixth Invader friend who are just visiting. They need Molly to help them sort out rogue robots on Fantasy World, a huge money-maker for the Third Invaders who host only the uber-wealthy and their fantasies.

Later, Molly discovers someone has murdered all inhabitants of Bella, which gives her yet another situation to unravel. Join Molly as she proves she's worthy of being Empress of the Sol Empire.

    • 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.
