The worldwide hit TV series "Lost", which will be broadcast on Channel 4 from August 2005, takes place on a remote South Pacific island, where a plane crash has left 48 people stranded. The three novels that accompany the show will 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.
