Until about a year ago, Baen used a Mobi creation tool which created a very old version of the Mobi file format, which didn't store author metadata. These files all have a ".prc" extension. Baen now generate "modern" Mobi books, with full metadata, and much better formatting; these files have a ".mobi" extension. They do not, however, seem to be converting the older files.
For the old format files, you'll get much better results by downloading the LIT version of the book, and converting that to Mobi.
