Star wars. Le coeur d'Alderaan

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

President Jurudu knows how to get what he wants - and he wants Sarbras. This is the first book in the new line The Stellar Guild from Phoenix Pick.

L'Empire caché (Saga des Sept Soleils, #1)

Two years before Dune.The never-before-told story of two of the most pivotal women in the life of Paul Muad'Dib Atreides-an Imperial princess, and a Fremen warrior. Princess Irulan, eldest daughter of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, grew up in luxury and splendor in the Imperial Palace. Surrounded by political machinations and diplomatic crises, she is treated as little more than a pawn for her father, to be married off to the highest bidder. But Irulan also has intense training from the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, and she does not consider herself to be a helpless game piece. She must balance her loyalty to the Imperium with her commitment to the Bene Gesserit and its breeding program . and her own aspirations to become a writer and chronicler. Chani, daughter of Imperial Planetologist Liet-Kynes, was raised on Arrakis among the Fremen, learning intimate, secret ways of the desert. She is passionate about winning freedom for her people from the ruthless Harkonnens. But her father serves two masters-the Imperium and the Fremen-and wants Chani to learn both sides of the coin for her own survival, and to help their beloved Dune. Experience the spectacle and intrigue of the Imperial court and hidden assassins, the clandestine inner workings of the Spacing Guild, and a bloody mutiny in the Imperial military . as well as the harsh realities of a desert world, with dangerous spice blows and fierce sandstorms. The stories of these two women intertwine in a compelling tale of strength and independence, of harsh duties and grand dreams. Princess of Dune is a must read for all fans of Frank Herbert's Dune universe. Praise for the Dune series:"The magic lingers, even when the final chapters have already been written." ?Kirkus Reviews on Mentats of Dune "[A] fun blend of space opera and dynastic soap opera." ?Publishers Weekly on Sisterhood of Dune "Delivers solid action and will certainly satisfy." ?Booklist on The Winds of Dune "The saga continues to embroider the original works with intelligence and imagination and also a stronger role for women." ?Booklist on Mentats of Dune "Fans of the original Dune series will love seeing familiar characters, and the narrative voice smoothly evokes the elder Herbert's style." ?Publishers Weekly on The Winds of Dune "This sequel to Paul of Dune is an important addition to the Dune chronology and will be in demand by Herbert fans." ?Library Journal, starred review, on The Winds of Dune "Characters and plot are thus beautifully set up, the timing is precise...the universe...is so vast, complex and fascinating that the magic lingers." ?Kirkus Reviews on Sisterhood of Dune
