Join intrepid exobiologist Alix Daring and her fun-size robot companion Figaro as they explore the wilds of alien planets throughout the galaxy. Over the course of their missions they'll be hunted by otherworldly beasts, taken captive in a subterranean labyrinth, dodge the eruptions of supervolcanoes and wage war against carnivorous flowers. From the crimson forests of Deimos X to the frozen oceans of Heikki II, Alix and Figaro are masters of saving the day and getting into trouble. Arc 1, Steel Trap:  When Alix and Figaro are sent on a mission to capture an alien rat in exchange for a hefty reward, neither expect much trouble. After all, the adorable critters are barely knee-high and have brains the size of walnuts. All that’s needed is a steel trap and a little patience, right? But the wild, red planet Alix and Figaro find themselves on is full of hidden dangers. The alien rats, thought to be mindless beasts, are much more than they seem. And they have been hard at work setting their own traps. Soon Alix and Figaro are themselves the prey, lost in the underground labyrinth of caverns that the aliens call home. The two must use all their strength and wits to best their rodent adversaries, or risk never seeing sunlight again . . .
