3 September: Lost Day

Today is Lost Day. 10 quotations about being lost:

  1. I am free and that is why I am lost. Franz Kafka

  2. Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost. Erol Ozan

  3. We’re not lost. We’re locationally challenged. John M Ford

  4. Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. Henry David Thoreau

  5. All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost. JRR Tolkien

  6. I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks. Daniel Boone

  7. I never panic when I get lost. I just change where it is I want to go. Rita Rudner

  8. Sometimes on the way to your dream, you get lost and find a better one. Lisa Hammond

  9. It's hard to get lost if you don't know where you're going. Jim Jarmusch

  10. Half the fun of travel is the aesthetic of lostness. Ray Bradbury



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.
