Aeolus Investigations Set 2: Too Cool To Lose: The Continuing Evolution of Lexi Stevens

Believe it or not, only fifteen months have elapsed since the formation of Aeolus Investigations. In the first episode of the series, Stowaway, Lexi and the team uncovered a mystical artifact stolen from the Ackalonian’s almost twenty-five years earlier. Episode two, Avenger, sends the team chasing after kidnappers. Their successful conclusion of that second mission leaves several of the Accord worlds in their debt. In episode three, Paladin, they manage to rescue a previously unknown civilization from possible collapse.

Too Cool to Lose: The Continuing Evolution of Lexi Stevens

A lighthearted space adventure, with overtones of seriousness.

Take this opportunity to join Lexi, Ron, Geena, and Urania — the Aeolus Investigations team — in their continuing adventures.

Gambler (episode five), is the first episode in the To Cool To Lose collection. Gambler picks up only days after the end of Paladin, with the team joining their friend Jis Boc Seckan on Ackalon for her coronation as Plicora of the planet. They barely made it in time to witness the event.

Due to the length of Gladiator, the fifth episode in the series and the second in this set, there are only the two episodes included. Gladiator, when initially plotted out, was intended as three separate novels. It didn’t work that way. I think it turned out alright. I hope you agree.

Taken together, these two episodes, more so than any since Stowaway, determine the course of Lexi’s life.

You’ll also find Geena’s Story — a short story that relates how Geena meets the man who would one day be Ron’s father.
