Queen of the Waves is a historical fiction novel that ties together the tales of two dramatic events that shaped the upper Texas Gulf Coast: Galveston's Great Storm of 1900 and the "secret" hurricane that struck Galveston during WWII in 1943. Through the characters of Marie Covington and Woodrow Harris, the parallels drawn against the backdrop of two historical storms tell of a remarkable people. Where Marie faces the risk of losing everything in 1943, Woodrow is a man who has lost all a man can lose in 1900, but uses his painful story of survival to teach what it truly means to be resilient amid the storms of life.
From a Science Fiction Grand Master: The sweeping epic of a planet veering from one extreme atmosphere to another—and the humans trying to survive on it. Helliconia Spring introduces us to a tumultuous world that follows an eccentric orbit around a double-star system—and the satellite from Earth secretly monitoring it. Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Brian W. Aldiss then explores the social and religious divisions keeping the planet’s population in conflict even as they’re devastated by plague in Helliconia Summer, and concludes the trilogy with Helliconia Winter, which recounts both the threat of a looming, frigid age of decay and the hope of a new future. The Helliconia Trilogy is both a riveting story and a thought-provoking examination of how our destinies are shaped by the environment around us. Aldiss’s study of fields from astronomy to climatology to geobiology endow all three novels with rich details of the planet Helliconia. This riveting, century-spanning saga is a timely exploration of what climate change can mean for our own planet. “Brian Aldiss’s towering imagination places his Helliconia Trilogy far above standard science fiction” (Daily Mail).
