  A Game of Authors

  Herbert, Frank

  In pursuit of a scoop, American journalist Hal Garson follows up on a mysterious, desperate letter that points to the whereabouts of legendary author Antone Luac, who vanished without a trace in Mexico years ago. The celebrated writer's disappearance is an enduring mystery, and Garson senses this story will make his career. Despite warnings, he travels to isolated Ciudad Brockman and begins asking questions…too many questions, which place him in the crossfire of a local crime lord, a Communist insurgent group, and finally to the imprisoned writer—and his beautiful daughter—who may not want to be found.

  Frank Herbert

  Herbert, Frank

  Even the author of DUNE—the best-selling science fiction novel of all time—had trouble getting published. At first.Frank Herbert wanted to be a writer, and though today his name is practically synonymous with world-building and epic science fiction, Herbert didn’t start out with a particular genre in mind. He wrote mainstream stories, mysteries, thrillers, mens’ adventure pieces, humorous slice-of-life tales. And, yes, some science fiction.For the first time, this collection presents 13 completed short stories that Frank Herbert never published in his lifetime. These tales show a great breadth of talent and imagination. Readers can now appreciate the writing of one of the field’s masters in a kaleidoscope of new stories.

  A Thorn in the Bush

  Everything of beauty must have at least one flaw in it. Otherwise people do not realize how beautiful it truly is.Mrs. Ross is an expatriate American who has found a quiet life in the small Mexican village of San Juan, a place where she can be content, a place where no one knows the secrets of her shadowy past life. Until an ambitious American painter takes up residence in San Juan, attempting to depict—and expose—everything about the sleepy Mexican town. But he may have underestimated the lengths a seemingly harmless old woman will go to protect her secrets.A Thorn in the Bush is one of four previously unpublished short novels written by famed Dune author Frank Herbert. Early in his career Herbert moved his family to Mexico where he struggled to survive as a writer. This novel came from those life-changing experiences.

  Dűne

  Herbert, Frank

  "Az ​univerzum legfontosabb terméke a fűszer, amely meghosszabbítja az életet, lehetővé teszi az űrutazást, és élő számítógépet csinál az emberből. Az emberlakta világokat uraló Impériumban azé a hatalom, aki a fűszert birtokolja. A Padisah Császár, a bolygókat uraló Nagy Házak, az Űrliga és a titokzatos rend, a Bene Gesserit kényes hatalmi egyensúlyának, a civilizáció egészének záloga, hogy a fűszerből nem lehet hiány. Ám ez az anyag csak egy helyen található, a sivatagos, kegyetlen Arrakison, amelyet lakói, a vad fremenek csak úgy ismernek: Dűne. Frank Herbert legendás regénye, amely megjelenésekor elnyerte a Hugo- és a Nebula-díjat, talán a legjobb science fiction, amit valaha írtak. A Dűne hatása ma már felfoghatatlan, az elmúlt fél évszázadban olvasók milliói fedezték fel az Arrakis világának részletességét, a szöveg szépségét és a könyvben rejlő filozófiát, társadalmi és vallási gondolatokat. Herbert lehengerlő és eleven története most átdolgozott kiadásban kerül újra az olvasók elé. „A modern science fiction egyik alapköve."" Chicago Tribune"
