Sinopse

Perhaps it is a bit unethical and unusual for editors to voice their opinion of their own wares, but when such a story as "The Skylark of Space" comes along, we just feel as if we must shout from the housetops that this is the greatest interplanetarian and space flying story that has appeared this year. Indeed, it probably will rank as one of the great space flying stories for many years to come. The story is chock full, not only of excellent science, but woven through it there is also that very rare element, love and romance. This element in an interplanetarian story is often apt to be foolish, but it does not seem so in this particular story.

Shift, Fight, Survive. 
Those are the rules of The Ring. Two wolves enter, one wolf leaves. 
Rukiya Moonborn is a slave, a werewolf whose master forces her and many others to fight to the death for the entertainment of the wealthy. Named "Dogs" after the lesser beasts, wolves like Rook live short, violent lives. The masters dangle the illusion of hope in front of the Dogs by insisting any wolf who survives 100 fights in The Ring can win his or her freedom. 
Rook is on her eighteenth fight against the West Coast Champion—the biggest she-wolf anyone has ever seen. As if this weren't enough, Rook finds a wolf pup who is destined for slavery as a Dog, and helps the child escape the master's clutches—a crime easily punishable by death. 
When Ryker—the master's handsome right-hand—catches her in the act, Rook embarks on a journey that will be the ultimate test of her courage and strength.

A stand-alone science fiction novella from the award-winning, bestselling, critically-acclaimed author of the Wayfarer series. 
At the turn of the twenty-second century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in subzero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to journey to neighboring exoplanets long known to harbor life. 
A team of these explorers, Ariadne O'Neill and her three crewmates, are hard at work in a planetary system fifteen light-years from Sol, on a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds. But as Ariadne shifts through both form and time, the culture back on Earth has also been transformed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left, Ariadne begins to chronicle the story of the wonders and dangers of her mission, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening.

In his classic science-fiction novel Dune (1965), Frank Herbert immerses readers into a futuristic fictional world with Arrakis—known as Dune—at the heart of it. Paul Atreides and his family move to Arrakis as the new governing entity over melange, a spice that sustains and prolongs life. The Harkonnens were the ruling family before the Atreides, and they will not sit idly after losing access to such an important resource. Meanwhile, the native people of Arrakis known as the Fremen, with their mystic blue eyes, are more than what they initially appear. 
Dune is an interplay of politics, religion, technology, and human emotion, explored and tested on the Desert Planet, with Paul Atreides as the long-awaited savior.
