Member recommendations:

Vonini recommends Gateway by Frederik Pohl

reading_fox recommends The Faded Sun Trilogy by C.J Cherryh, "Same basic sort of premise - SciFi set on desert worlds inspires the rise of a galactic empire, but very different outcomes!"

amysisson recommends Bright of the sky by Kay Kenyon, "Different in tone, but similar in scope, plus it's also about the lengths to which empires will go to maintain the status quo."

First words
Es en el momento de empezar cuando hay que cuidar atentamente que los equilibrios queden establecidos de la manera más exacta.
En la semana que precedió a la partida hacia Arrakis, cuando el frenesí de los últimos preparativos había alcanzado un nivel casi insoportable, una vieja mujer acudió a visitar a la madre del muchacho, Paul.
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.
Last words
- ¿Tan poco conoces a mi hijo? - susurró Jessica-. Mira a esa princesa inmóvil, allí, tan orgullosa y segura de sí misma. Dicen que tiene pretensiones literarias. Esperemos que puedan llenar su existencia, porque va a tener muy poca cosa más. - Se le escapó una amarga sonrisa-. Piensa en ello, Chani: esa princesa tendrá el nombre, pero será mucho menos que una concubina... nunca conocerá un momento de ternura por parte del hombre al que estará unida. Mientras que a nosotras, Chani, nosotras que arrastramos el nombre de concubinas... la historia nos llamará esposas.
