Aeolus is King of the Winds and Master of Cosmic Currents. He takes
delight in forcing unwilling travellers to play his dangerous games
in which they barely escape with their lives. In Guardian of the
Cosmic Winds Ulysses is just such a participant. Aeolus has a box
which contains the route back to Earth. If Ulysses wins the games the
route will be his. Ulysses finds the box, but an accident which drains
the box of its power almost kills Aeolus's daughter. The accident brings
Aeolus to his senses and he realises the folly of his ways.
