Description

The inspiration for the HBO original series DUNE: PROPHECY, coming Fall 2024!

It is 83 years after the last thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of a new Imperium.

The war hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on politics and Salusa Secundus. The descendants of the disgraced Abulurd Harkonnen have sworn vengeance against Vor, blaming him for the downfall of their noble family.

Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Bene Gesserit School and, through a terrible ordeal, has become the first Reverend Mother.

The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva use mutated, spice-saturated Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners.

And Gilbertus Albans, ward of the hated thinking machine Erasmus, is teaching humans to become Mentats…while hiding an unbelievable secret.

Led by the fanatic Manford Torondo, the Butlerian movement, fiercely opposed to all forms of "dangerous technology," sweeps across the known universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its path.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    This book was very enjoyable for me. I have read most of the Dune Prequels and Sequels written by Kevin J Anderson and Brain Herbert. although there is a slightly difernt tone and effect than the original Dune cronicles, I really enjoy delving into the expanded duniverse. I’m looking forward to examining Mentants of dune in my own version of mentant mode. The spice must flow, the mind of man is holy…...

    Another example of Brian making a buck off his father's name and reputation.

  • Finally, some true character development!

    I was greatly disappointed with the previous trilogy, Butlerian Jihad, because there was a lack of emotional investiture in the characters. The only exception being Vorian Atreides as he was in all three books, his character eventually grew very slowly by the end. This book picks up with the end of the Machine Crusade with most of the same characters, but this time with feeling. You can feel their anger (Vor), their hope and frustration (Roquella), their ineptness and fear (Salvador), and their blind determination ( Manford, Norma).

  • More!!!!

    I have read every book in the Dune series. This book, Sisterhood of Dune, is a fabulous story, which in addition to the other books in the series, connects the stories of Dune. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about Dune and it's history. Great flow in writing these chapters and there is never a dull moment. Again, it is a great read and an awesome addition to the whole of the Dune series.

    I think it is a good read someone has written Brian Herbert McDune books. Brian admitted he does not write as his father he has his own style if he writes like his father he would be a fake. Brian has his own style and it is good reading.

  • Be warned: McDune is NOT Dune.

    These new Dune books are to say the least vastly inferior to the originals....think lowest-common-denominator "Star Wars" books which were also largely written by Anderson, who favors quantity over quality and specializes in running great universes into the ground by exploiting the hopes of popular series fans and not delivering on them. That's not to say that you can't still enjoy a McDune book....I managed to eke out a little pleasure from some of them before finally realizing how tragically awful of a writer Anderson is and how little he really cares about quality, consistency, or honoring the things that make these popular universes great.
