Description
“Nikki Stafford is a godsend to Lost enthusiasts in particular and TV lovers in general. I’ve written about TV for several years, and have always valued her opinion and insights on all things television.” — Amanda Cuda, Connecticut Post
Author Nikki Stafford has established herself in the Lost fandom through her comprehensive episode analysis, which have helped thousands of viewers watch the show with a deeper understanding season after season. This final installment of the Finding Lost series ties together all of the pieces from season one to the end, showing the beginnings of each plot line and tracing its development throughout the series.
This season six book includes analyses on the war between good and evil and how it’s been epitomized in the black and white themes, and will provide possible explanations for many of the questions that have remained remain unanswered at the end of the series. The book will be filled with sidebars offering summaries for many of the show’s ongoing mysteries, and chapters on the show’s literary precursors, Stephen King’s The Stand and Milton’s Paradise Lost. Stafford takes an in-depth look at the alternate timeline offered in the show’s final season and compare it to the original timeline that played out in the first five seasons. Including exclusive behind-the-scenes photos of the filming of the season six episodes on location in Hawaii, Finding Lost: Season 6 is the only book Lost fans will need when the screen goes dark (or light) one final time.

Editorial Reviews
“Reading through Stafford’s intricately detailed recaps of every episode of Lost’s sixth and final season, you become intimately reacquainted with the already foggy memories associated with its most unforgettable characters (Jack, Locke, Hurley, Linus, Sawyer) and even its biblical deities (Jacob and Smokey). With the added benefit of rear view hindsight, you might also even be able to finally make sense of the island’s deepest mysteries… a great resource for any unanswered questions that may linger following the viewing of each episode (for those who choose to do so).” — Blog Critics
“For the Lost bibliophile who wants to delve more specifically into what happened during that controversial sixth season, Finding Lost: Season Six — the final installment in Nikki Stafford’s series of island analyses — is also a good option.” — Washington Post
