10 April: Paul Theroux Quotes

Paul Theroux, US writer, was born on this date in 1941. Some things he said:

  1. Tourists don't know where they've been, travellers don't know where they're going.
  2. Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.
  3. Fiction gives us a second chance that life denies us.
  4. I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better.
  5. Gain a modest reputation for being unreliable and you will never be asked to do a thing.
  6. You go away for a long time and return a different person - you never come all the way back.
  7. It is usually expensive and lonely to be principled.
  8. There has to be a measure of difficulty or problem-solving in travel for it to be worthwhile.
  9. People who don't read books a lot are threatened by books.
  10. The man who is tired of London is tired of looking for a parking space.

Closing the Circle

A stable wormhole has been established between Earth and Infinitus. Power Blaster and his friends can finally go home.

Desi Troyes is still at large on Earth - Power Blaster has vowed to bring him to justice. His wedding to Shanna is under threat as the Desperadoes launch an attempt to rescue their leader. 
Someone from Power Blaster's past plays an unexpected and significant role in capturing Troyes.

The return home brings its own challenges. Not everyone can return to the life they left behind, and for some, there is unfinished business to be dealt with before they can start anew.

Ben Cole in particular cannot resume his old life as a surgeon because technology no longer works around him. He plans a new life in Classica, away from technology. Shanna hears there could be a way to reverse his condition and sets out to find it, putting herself in great danger. She doesn't know she is about to uncover the secret of Power Blaster's mysterious past.
