February 8: Jules Verne Quotes

On his birthday, ten Jules Verne quotes.

1. There are no impossible obstacles; there are just stronger and weaker wills, that’s all!
2. Anything you can imagine you can make real.
3. How many things have been denied one day, only to become realities the next!
4. Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.
5. Well, I feel that we should always put a little art into what we do. It's better that way.
6. Anything capable of being imagined will one day be made reality.
7. Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.
8. It seems wisest to assume the worst from the beginning...and let anything better come as a surprise.
9. Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
10. I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.

A Tale of Two Sisters

During a battle with supervillains, a horrific accident leaves the Warner family with no option but to believe their youngest daughter, Jessica, is dead. It doesn't occur to them that the bad guys could, or would, save her.

Jessica wakes up with no memory of who she is or how she came to be on a space station with two bionic legs, a bionic arm and a bionic eye. She is told her family abandoned her and is sent back to Earth with a mission - to kill them. While Jessica wants to kill her family, along with the twin boys who once rejected her, she knows what the Alliance of Supervillains are asking her to do is a suicide mission. She decides to get her revenge in her own way.

As Jessica puts the first part of her revenge plan in motion, she finds herself with an agonising decision to make. Before she can decide, the Alliance come for her, determined to make her do their bidding. This time, it's the Alliance who leave her, crippled and at the mercy of the Warner family, who have no idea who the Alliance's Black Rose really is.

Jessica finds herself having to re-think her decisions in light of what she now learns about her family, the Alliance, the twins, and herself. It would appear the Alliance have left her with an unwanted and permanent reminder of her time with them. Or have they?

Jessica's older sister, Jill, knows her destiny is to be a doctor and specialise in bionics and genetic variant medicine. She is also hopelessly in love with Christopher, Crown Prince of Galorvia. Can their romance survive the lies Christopher told her when they were both at school, an unplanned pregnancy and Sophie, the wannabe princess who comes between them?
