Today, here are ten Napoleon Bonaparte quotes. He was born on this date in 1759.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.
On victory, you deserve beer. On defeat, you need it.
Courage isn't having the strength to go on – it is going on when you don't have strength.
The best way to keep one's word is not to give it.
Victory is not always winning the battle...but rising every time you fall.
Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can fly.
I base my calculation on the expectation that luck will be against me.
If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.
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.
