Aeolus Investigations series by Robert E Colfax (#1-3,5-11)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.96 MB
Overview: I began writing when I was about seventeen on a manual typewriter. I'll tell you, I don't get it right the first time, or the thirtieth. Sadly. The editing made me nuts back then. I couldn't do this without the support of friends, but even more so, without a computer. Fast forward through college, grad school, a marriage, two children, three dogs, a cat, a career as a software developer and we arrive at the present.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
1. Stowaway
The year is 2025. When Lexi first met Ron, she was a doctoral student at a western university with clear goals for her life. So was Ron, except it turned out he was already an undercover insurance investigator. She hopes to be on the first space mission to Titan, although Mars will do. While it wouldn't be fair to say she was knocked off her feet, she certainly felt the attraction. Ron abruptly left after their first date without much of an explanation. Bummer. What does a young woman brimming with curiosity and determination do? She followed him. Of course. Who knew he was an alien? Right? Determined to save Earth from (an imagined) invasion, what could a girl do other than stow away on his small starship. Her plans of space missions quickly go out the window. Joining forces with her alien boyfriend Ron, his mother Geena and the sentient starship Urania, they recover the 50,000 year-old, alien artifact known as the Rose of Light. That’s when the fun starts, or more precisely, the havoc begins.
2. Avenger
Geena Samue has been an interstellar insurance investigator for the last thirty years. Her twenty seven year old son Ron Samue knows what he’s about as well. His girlfriend, Lexi Stevens, despite being new to the business, now leads the Aeolus Investigations team as they take on a mission to rescue the kidnapped wife and children of a prince of Borgol. The team is hindered in their efforts by a cold trail and Lexi’s own trainee status. There’s also the problem that this was more than a simple kidnapping.
3. Paladin
The Aeolus team just wasn't expecting bounty hunters. With money in the bank from their last amazingly lucrative job, the team remodels their sentient starship. Then it's off to Ackalon to install the new weapons. Paperwork aside, it should have been straightforward. They expected two months of relaxing and seeing the sights while waiting for their friend Jis Boc Seckan's coronation as ruler of the planet. Those plans abruptly changed when bounty hunters took Lexi. Jis isn't concerned. She already thinks of Lexi as frighteningly effective. Ron and Geena are only marginally concerned. Lexi tends to find a way, no matter what. Lexi is titillated, finding the opportunity to quote from a Schwarzenegger film in the process of escaping. Of course, she was high on truth serum at the time. The escape itself wasn't that big of a deal for Lexi. Dealing with the armed pirate ships that were invisible to her ship's sensor array, well, that was a problem.
5. Gladiator
The Aeolus Investigations team has suspected since almost the beginning that they were being prepared by somebody for something. Hard evidence is totally lacking but the coincidences are stacking up. This may be it. The Kreesh are swarming and Earth is directly in their path. The Accord can't stop them. Can Lexi and the Aeolus team? This light-hearted space opera, the fifth episode in the Aeolus Investigations series, puts the team in a situation that could spell the end of all life in the Accord. This time, Lexi's particular brand of techno-wizardry isn't going to solve the problem. Admittedly, that sounds less than light-hearted, doesn't it?
6. Shaman
In the prior episode, Lexi Stevens and the Aeolus team saved Earth as well as the Accord from the Kreesh swarm. Next on her crisis management list is dealing with the Unity pirates we first learned of in Gambler. In will be years before the Aeolus fleet can be rebuilt to the level necessary to confront Unity. She’s got people for that. She and her husband, Ron Samue, take a long-needed vacation, exploring beyond the fringes of Accord space. It’s just the two of them and their sentient starship, Urania. Urania is very considerate when it comes to giving the newlyweds alone time. Things are just peachy until they approach the Forerunner-seeded world of Satt. While on approach, a weapon of unknown design lashes out, cutting Urania into two pieces, both of which crash to the surface. Lexi survived the crash. Now she has to reunite with Ron and figure out how and why a primitive planet has a planetary defense weapon capable of destroying shielded starships. In the process, they encounter the Xan’katka’ublan, another race of stranded aliens, an alien plant trying to overgrow the entire planet, and a two hundred fifty thousand year old being who believes he is a god. With Lexi captured by the primitive humans on Satt, Ron missing and possibly dead, Urania’s fate unknown, what can Lexi do? Stupid question. She takes charge, of course.
7. Mom
Lexi Stevens, Marshal of the Accord, has been trapped, captured, and drugged by an enemy people named the Gadtons. That, and the fact they have six fingers on each hand, is all she knows about them. Whatever drug they’re giving her is causing massive hallucinations. Her husband, Ron Samue, plows in to the rescue. When asked, he always replies semi-seriously that rescuing Lexi is in his job description. He’s done it before. He expects he’ll be doing it again. This time, much to his surprise, a second Aeolus team shows up to assist with the rescue. The new team is led by his adult son, Crane Samue. Which was just weird. You see, Ron and Lexi don’t have children. At least not yet. Ron being Ron, he wonders where the DeLorean is parked. What he doesn’t realize is that the mission Crane and his team are on is far more critical than just the rescue of Crane’s mom. That’s just the beginning. In order to save people she loves, Lexi has to mess with the fabric of time itself.
8. Samurai
Lexi Stevens one time mentioned to her friend Urania if maybe she wasn't the Marshal of the Accord. If all of her amazing and amazingly unlikely adventures since the time she first met the love of her life, Ron Samue, was a dream, that she was actually flat on her back on a hospital bed on Earth. That her entire life was a dream her mind constructed to amuse her while she was in a coma. That can't be right, can it? On the other hand, it could be interesting.
9. Archaeologist
Allie Stevens, Lexi Stevens's sister, just celebrated her sixteenth birthday. When you’re a genetically enhanced sister of the Marshal of the Accord, one who came into the world with the telepathic and empathic abilities of the adults in Lexi’s circle of friends, you grow up fast. Lexi considers her sister to be as much of an adult as she is, just with a perkier outlook on life. Over the last year, Allie developed a fascination with Mesoamerican cultures. As a birthday present, Lexi buys them both positions on an archaeological dig in Peru. Not only is it a birthday present, it's an opportunity for Lexi and Allie to spend time together. It isn't long before Allie develops a crush on Steve, the rugged and handsome dig director. You could assume that would be complication enough on a dig in the wilderness of the Peruvian tropical rain forest. You'd be wrong. It was supposed to be a vacation. A different and fun thing for the sisters to do while spending quality time with each other. Then someone blew up the cave they were exploring changing their vacation into a full-scale job for Aeolus Investigations. Now Allie needed to learn what it means to be the Marshal of the Accord. Allie rocks!
10. Guardian
Allie Stevens, now eighteen, was given her very own starship by her sister, Lexi Stevens, for her birthday. As the interstellar civilization known as the Accord grows under Marshal Lexi Stevens’s guidance, the need for additional trouble shooting teams — people Lexi can trust to make the hard decisions — is growing. Now with her own, newly formed team of Aeolus Investigators, Allie sets off to investigate what Lexi considered to be a cold-case -- what really happened to Lexi's mother, Violet Stevens. Lexi's father, Charlie Stevens, had found his wife dead in the living room when Lexi was only four. Her body was buried in Hawaii, next to the graves of her parents. When the body was to be exhumed over two decades later, they found only an empty coffin. Allie thinks there is a good chance Violet is still alive -- and what nicer thing could she do for her sister than find her mother. In the process of finding her, Allie seriously enlarges a rift in space-time. One that she can't seal and one that is growing. Oops!
11. Witch
In Guardian, the prior episode in the Aeolus Investigations series, Lexi and Ron are supposedly lost to us forever, sealed inside a pocket universe from which there can be no possibility of escape. The Accord, for which Lexi has been responsible for the last thirty years, goes on, with her younger sister, Allie Stevens, as the Marshal. If you ask Allie, she’s just keeping the position warm until Lexi gets back. The others are pretty sure that can never happen. Allie, had it right! Admittedly, it took magic to get them out.
