The worldwide hit TV series Lost, broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK, takes place on a remote South Pacific island, where a plane crash has left 48 people stranded. The three novels that accompanied the show focus on survivors who are not main characters of the television plot - offering new and compelling stories and heroes for Lost fans. These new characters will have original adventures rooted within the show's continuity - they will cross with characters from the show, and even take a background role in major events seen on the series.
