She wakes up to find four of them looking down at her. They have very big needles, but before they can use them on her Debbie is rescued by a stranger who can't remember who she is. The aliens have memory-blocked her.
Naming her Ellen because she was good at taking down aliens too, Debbie sets off with her on a voyage across the universe. Hunted all the way by the aliens who want their ship back, Debbie and Ellen discover a cosmos filled with civilizations. All of them also want something: community service for sleeping in a public place, pirates with a ransom to collect, a secret military from a mysterious ghost ship, and the emperor of the entire universe who wants nothing more than a nice dinner. As they negotiate their way through it all, making friends and enemies along the way, Debbie and Ellen search for answers to the questions: who is Ellen, where does she come from, why is she aboard this alien ship, and why are these aliens abducting people from Earth?
Somewhat Lost: It Was One Bottle of Wine is a sci-fi first-contact space opera in which Debbie discovers almost no one out there has heard of Earth and it might be better if it stayed that way.
