About this ebook

Book Two in the stunning conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles

At the end of Frank Herbert's final novel, Chapterhouse: Dune, a ship carrying a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. The fugitives used genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past--including Paul Muad'Dib and Lady Jessica--to use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.

Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in two safe-deposit boxes for a decade, Sandworms of Dune will answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades: the origin of the Honored Matres, the tantalizing future of the planet Arrakis, the final revelation of the Kwisatz Haderach, and the resolution to the war between Man and Machine.

This breathtaking new novel in Frank Herbert's Dune series has enough surprises and plot twists to please even the most demanding reader.

Ratings and reviews

So happy that I never have to read another book in this series. I wish Brian had just released his father's raw notes. That might not have been any more satisfying but at least then, I wouldn't have this feeling that someone stole something from me. I felt violated through out the whole new series but I toughed it out and kept reading in the hopes that things would tie up at the end and that I could then reverse engineer Frank Herbert ' intent. Turns out, not so much. Just a train wreck.

A GREAT END TO A EPIC SERIES. THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE EXACT ENDING HERBERT WOULD HAVE CREATED, THE WRITING STYLE IS SIMPLIFIED AND NOT AS COMPLEX AND PROFOUND AS THE FIRST 5. IT STILL IS A GREAT EFFORT BY THE TWO AUTHORS EVEN IF LACKING IN SEVERAL AREAS.

What the hell man, this book and Kevin Anderson have ruined my childhood and the glory of reading dune. The d bag writes like a prepubescent. I am severely upset, and wish I could unread this book.
