[Aeolus Investigations 05] • Gladiator

It’s going to be a wild ride.

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.

Lexi and her team thought Urania might be the only sentient starship in the Accord. They learned they were wrong when the psychotic command-comp of an alien warship traps them in a simulated reality. He’s powerful and adapts quickly. But Lexi has her love of movies on her side.

That was bad enough.

Then they discover the Kreesh are swarming. The Kreesh destroy worlds. It's just what they do. The Accord can't stop them. With Earth directly in their path, that makes it personal.

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?
