Book Description:
The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. Now the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune's powers, have colonized a green world and are turning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile. In this, the final book in the Dune Chronicles, Herbert again creates a world of breathtakingly evolved characters and the contexts in which to appreciate them. The richness of detail and perspective fascinates, while the multi-layered plot evolves as pages turn. Riveting from end to end, the legend lives on in the greatest science fiction epic of all time.
" Impressive...the whole saga will be one of the monuments of modern science fiction." (Chicago Sun Times)

Of the Dune Chronicles, this was the hardest to read enthusiastically. I enjoyed Heretics, because I really liked Teg and Sheanna a lot. The only saving grace this novel has for the first half is Duncan, leaving the Great Honored Matres, Scytale, and Odrade to make the story happen. The new characters in this story provide very little of interest, and the characters surfacing from diaspora are even more lame. The second half of the book gets much more interesting, but barely saves this story. The ... Read More

Previously, the reader briefly meets the Honored Matres, the corrupt offspring of the Bene Gesserit sent out into the Scattering and Heretics of Dune ends with the capture of a valuable Honored Matre in Murbella. Fast forward to the present and Murbella is becoming ... Read More

The last of the Atredies must find a way to escape into the Scattering or be trapped forever beneath the thumb of a chaos worse than any that has come before...
This book is slow, tedious, confusing, ... Read More

I just finished re-reading my copy of this. I like it because I am a huge Dune fan. But I didn't necessarily like it as much as I did the other books in this original Dune saga. What was most interesting to mewas the transition of power and the technical aspects. But I think many things didn't have a complete wrap-up and this didn't provide an ending I had hoped for for the masterpiece that is the original Dune story. I haven't read enough about Frank Herbert to know whether he planned anything else, and ... Read More

The problem with this book isn't so much about the book. It is pretty much standard sci-fi fare, with a bit of intrigue thrown in for good measure. The problem is, it gets progressively worse, page by page. The break where the children finished the book is stunningly obvious; it is fairly clear that they didn't inherit their fathers talent. If it were on its own, it would be decent, hence the third star. However, when placed at the end of a line of excellent books, it is at best overshadowed, at worst an insult ... Read More
