5 May: Quotes from Michael Palin

Michael Palin, member of the Monty Python team and more recently known for his travel documentaries, was born on this date in 1943. Here are 10 quotes from him.

  1. Contrary to what the politicians and religious leaders would like us to believe, the world won't be made safer by creating barriers between people.
  2. I always wanted to be an explorer, but - it seemed I was doomed to be nothing more than a very silly person.
  3. The human race should just slow down and think about what it is doing.
  4. I mistrust total competence. I've always felt life is a series of small disasters we try to get through.
  5. I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
  6. You can't get a suit of armour and a rubber chicken just like that. You have to plan ahead.
  7. The trouble with travelling back later on is that you can never repeat the same experience.
  8. In the absence of fear there is little faith.
  9. One of the difficult things of so much travelling is to say goodbye.
  10. Armageddon is not around the corner. This is only what the people of violence want us to believe. The complexity and diversity of the world is the hope for the future.

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.
