10 quotes from Zelda Fitzgerald, who was born on this day in 1900:
Look closer and you'll see something extraordinary, mystifying, something real and true.
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
Experience teaches you how to do things you never want to do again.
She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.
Other people's ideas of us are dependent largely on what they've hoped for.
One illusion is as good as another.
People are like almanacs, Bonnie – you never can find the information you're looking for, but the casual reading is well worth the trouble.
I don't want to live— I want to love first, and live…incidentally.
It is the loose ends with which men hang themselves.
Isn't it funny how danger makes people passionate?
The first in a new series! It has invading aliens, gladiator-style contests, rivalry and romance.
The six richest people in Britain decide to hold a contest to settle the question of which of them is most successful. It will be a gladiator style contest with each entrant fielding a team of ten super-powered combatants. Entrepreneur Llew Powell sets out to put together his team, which includes his former lover, an employee of his company with a fascinating hobby, two refugees from another dimension (a lonely giant and a drunken sailor), two sisters bound together by a promise, a diminutive doctor, a former Tibetan monk initiate and two androids with a history. As the team train together, alliances form, friendships and more develop, while others find the past is not easy to leave behind.
Meanwhile, a ruthless race of aliens has its eyes on the Earth. Already abducting and enslaving humans, they work towards the final invasion which would destroy life on Earth as we know it. Powell’s group, Combat Team Alpha, stumble upon one of the wormholes the aliens use to travel to Earth and witness for themselves the horrors in store if the aliens aren’t stopped. Barely escaping with their lives, they realise there are more important things to worry about than a fighting competition.
