Lowbacca has left the Jedi academy and traveled to the planet Ryloth, headquarters of the Diversity Alliance, to see what the Alliance is really all about.

The climactic finale of the Great Schools of Dune Trilogy, set 10, 000 years before Frank Herbert's classic DUNE. NAVIGATORS OF DUNE is a fascinating portal into vital components of the mesmerizing, intense universe of Dune.   Every DUNE fan knows of the Spacing Guild's mysterious Navigators, the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood program to breed a superhuman, and the Mentats, trained as human computers to replace forbidden thinking machines. But until now, readers knew little of how they came to be. Navigators, mutated by spice into beings far superior to normal humans, make space travel possible across the burgeoning Imperium. Their prescient awareness allows them to foresee safe paths through the universe as starship engines "fold" space. Only industrial magnate Josef Venport knows the secret of creating Navigators, and he intends to build a commercial empire to span the galaxy. But at every turn Josef is embattled by the forces of anti-technology fanaticism, "Butlerian" zealots led by the charismatic and dangerous Manford Torondo, who wishes to countermand humanity's new renaissance and drive the Imperium back into a dark age. And between those titanic forces stands the uncertain new Emperor Roderick Corrino, forced to take the throne after the assassination of his brother. The Navigators are the key to charting a glorious future for humanity .

Navigators of Dune - The Great Schools of Dune, #3

Le corps du Dr Gregory était carbonisé, figé en une posture qui exprimait une douleur inhumaine. - Cet homme a été tué par une explosion nucléaire, dit Scully en se redressant. Tous les indices concordent. Mulder regardait fixement le cadavre. - C'est impossible, murmura-t-il. La pièce est intacte ! Scully regarda les murs de la petite salle. - C'est pourtant la seule explication scientifique, vu l'état du corps. Mulder ne répondit pas. Une force inconnue et terrifiante était en train de tuer une par une toutes les personnes travaillant sur des projets nucléaires. Pendant ce temps, les militaires jouaient aux apprentis sorciers et le gouvernement mentait. Une fois de plus, Mulder et Scully étaient seuls, aux frontières du réel... Mais cette fois, il fallait qu'ils découvrent la vérité. La paix mondiale en dépendait.

Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Issue #9 - Pulphouse, #9

For a moment, the world stood still. .but our people were forced to stand alone.  And in the midst of this darkness, one Colorado group decided to use art to heal broken hearts. As mandatory stay-at-home orders continued, it became clear that the Coronavirus pandemic would not surrender anytime soon. Feelings of trepidation and sadness spread like wildfire, and our people grew weary and afraid. That's when the Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Western Colorado University created "The Great Isolation Writing Contest, " to take away some of the powerlessness that some were feeling. Seventeen winners of that competition are represented in this anthology. Writers from different disciplines-nature writing, screenwriting, poetry, and genre fiction-expressed their responses to a world we could no longer understand. And all were gathered and published in a new volume by the Publishing students at Western. Each entry in this collection is innovative and brings us through emotions that range from exciting, to funny, to reflective. And just as The Decameron became the literary voice of the 14th century's black plague, so too "The Great Isolation" is our collective answer to the 21st century pandemic.  We are, it seems, in this aloneness together.

The Great Isolation

Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune saga sprawls across countless planets and tens of millennia. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have written thirteen international bestselling novels set in this epic universe. But the wealth of material leaves many side tales or interesting ideas that can be told, hors d'oeuvres to accompany the exotic main course. Sometimes, a short story is exactly what's needed. Tales of Dune collects eight of Herbert and Anderson's Dune short stories, ranging from the period of the Butlerian Jihad, to the time of young Paul Atreides, to a story set during the events of the novel Dune, to the very end of Frank Herbert's future history.  These are the missing pieces in the epic of Dune.
