11 Series

Kage Baker (1952-2010) was an American sci-fi/fantasy author renowned for her Company series, comprising novels, short story collections, and novellas. She passed away from cancer in January 2010.

In "Mendoza in Hollywood," also known as "At the Edge of the West," Kage Baker explores the life of Mendoza, an immortal cyborg operative working for Dr. Zeus Inc. in 19th-century California. Tasked with preserving valuable items from history, Mendoza navigates the complexities of her mission while grappling with her own emotions and identity. As she adapts to the evolving Hollywood landscape, Mendoza's encounters with various historical figures add depth to her journey. Co-authored with Kathleen Bartholomew, "Nell Gwynne's On Land and At Sea" complements Baker's narrative universe, though it focuses on different characters and settings. Together, these works offer a rich tapestry of time travel, corporate intrigue, and personal transformation.
