Sinopsis

"Dune" is a monumental work of science fiction that transports readers to the desert planet of Arrakis, a harsh and unforgiving world where the most valuable substance in the universe, known as spice, is mined. At its heart, the novel is a rich tapestry of political intrigue, complex characters, and philosophical depth.
Set in a distant future where noble houses vie for control of the galaxy under the rule of a sprawling interstellar empire, "Dune" follows the journey of young Paul Atreides, heir to House Atreides, as he navigates the treacherous politics of Arrakis.
With themes of power, ecology, religion, and the human condition woven throughout its pages, "Dune" is as much a meditation on the nature of leadership and destiny as it is a gripping adventure. Frank Herbert's vivid world-building, intricate plotting, and compelling characters have earned "Dune" its place as one of the most revered works of science fiction literature of all time.

    Adultery and treachery shape this thrilling romance set against the backdrop of the War of the Roses—from the New York Times–bestselling author. 
     
    A woman banished 
     
    Griffith, battle-seasoned warrior and the king’s most trusted emissary, expected to find a shallow, vain, frivolous woman at Wenthaven Castle. After all, as lady-in-waiting to the queen, lovely Lady Marian had been in a position of privilege, yet she had been banished from the court amid rumors she had given birth to an illegitimate child. 
     
    An outrageous offer 
     
    When he arrived, Griffith found Lady Marian to be strong, intelligent and fiercely protective of the young baby in her custody . . . and very suspicious of him. If he were smart, the knight would just deliver the message with which he had been entrusted. Instead, he longs to linger to delve into the mystery that is Marian, to discover what she so desperately fears—and why he so improperly wants her.`

    Climate disaster–induced fugue states, mutinous polar bears, support groups for recently displaced millionaires, men who hear trees, and women who lose their wives on environmental refugee resettlement trips. In these dispatches from a weirding world, the absurd and fantastic are increasingly indistinguishable from reality. Exploring this liminal moment, Ashley Shelby's collection of climate fictions imagines a near future that is both unnervingly familiar and subversively strange. 
     
     
     
    Set in the same post-climate-impact era, these stories range from playfully satirical to poignantly humane, bending traditional narrative forms and coming together into a brilliant and unusual contemplation of our changing world. Featuring the Hugo-nominated novelette "Muri," Honeymoons in Temporary Locations processes the unthinkable through riotous inventions like guided tours of submerged cities, Craigslist ads placed by climate refugees, and cynical pharmaceutical efforts to market a drug to treat solastalgia, the existential distress caused by environmental change. 
     
     
     
    Shelby reengineers the dystopic bleakness that characterizes so much climate fiction by embracing an eclectic experimentalism leavened with humor, irony, and the inevitable bathos that characterizes the human experience. Unexpected and clever, this innovative collection confirms her status as a visionary writer whose work expands the forms, attitudes, and possibilities of climate fiction.
