Dujonian's Hoard (The Captain's Table, Book 2, Star Trek: The Next Generation)
by Michael Jan FriedmanCaptain Picard ... In His Own Words! The Cardassians' weapons banks erupted at us with renewed fury. The Daring shivered and jerked sideways under the force of the attack. A console exploded, sending out a shower of sparks. I felt a hand clutch my shoulder. "Get us out of here," Red Abby demanded of me. Then the Cardassians struck again. I was flung out of my seat. The next thing I knew, I was dragging myself off the deck, a ringing in my ears and the taste of blood in my mouth. My comrades had been tossed about as well. One by one, they began to stir, to show signs of consciousness. Red Abby cursed and looked to Worf. "Report," she rasped, her blue eyes glittering as they reflected a sudden burst of sparks. "Shields are down," the lieutenant told her, blinking away smoke. "Weapons are disabled. And the engines are offline-impulse as well as warpdrive." "looked at the viewscreen. The Cardassian warship wasn't firing on us any longer. But then, it didn't have to. We were dead in the water.

As a demon of the Ethereal, it’s Duncan Sinclair’s job to sway humans toward the path to hell. Duncan is very good at his job—until a prank gone wrong lands him in the upper realm doing penance. Now he’s being bombarded with love, kindness, and affectionate sex…and it’s killing him. The only way out is to agree to sway souls for heaven, with an angel as his partner. Sapphira may be an angel of the upper realm, but she chafes in a bland existence where everything is so pure. It’s hard to hide her secret yearning for sin. Even harder with Duncan, who’s everything the dark core of her soul craves: handsome, sexy and refreshingly naughty. Confronted with an angel who drinks, swears, and takes him to bliss with her sinfully delightful body, Duncan finds himself at risk of losing his heart to the enemy. Loving this angel could land him right where he doesn’t want to be—heaven. But what’s a demon to do when he’s falling? “I have to tell you that Duncan is one temptation that I don’t think I could deny and if sinning can be this hot then I want some more of it...”4.5 Stars, Eva, Night Owl Reviews

Dune (Constellations)
by Christian McCreaDavid Lynch’s Dune (1984) is the film that science fiction—and the director’s most ardent fans—can neither forgive nor forget. Frank Herbert’s original 1965 novel built a meticulous universe of dark majesty and justice, as wild-eyed freedom fighters and relentless authoritarians all struggled for control of the desert planet Arrakis and its mystical, life-extending “spice.” After several attempts to produce a film, Italian movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis and his producer daughter Raffaella would enlist David Lynch, whose Eraserhead (1977) and The Elephant Man (1980) had already marked him out as a visionary director. What emerges out of their strange, long process is a deeply unique vision of the distant future; an eclectic bazaar of wood-turned spaceship interiors, spitting tyrants, and dream montages. Lynch’s film was “steeped in an ancient primordial nastiness that has nothing to do with the sci-fi film as we currently know it,” as Village Voice critic J. Hoberman put it—only with time becoming a cult classic. This book is the first long-form critical study of the film; it delves into the relationship with the novel, the rapidly changing context of early 1980s science fiction, and takes a close look at Lynch’s attempt to breathe sincerity and mysticism into a blockbuster movie format that was shifting radically around him.
