## Resource

What if your mother made you feel like you'd never measure up — and then forced you to become Empress? Mark Gaebler joins us to break down Chronicles of the Yankee Trader: Empress Rising , a sweeping sci-fi saga over a decade in the making — co-authored with his son — that blends empire-building, genetic warfare, reluctant royalty, and first contact with humanity in ways you won't see coming. Five books are planned, and once you start, you'll understand why this world was built to last.
