About this ebook

Following their internationally bestselling novels Dune: The Butlerian Jihad and Dune: The Machine Crusade, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson forge a final tumultuous finish to their prequels to Frank Herbert's Dune.

Dune: The Battle of Corrin

It has been fifty-six hard years since the events of The Machine Crusade. Following the death of Serena Butler, the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. Synchronized Worlds and Unallied Planets are liberated one by one, and at long last, after years of struggle, the human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight.

Unfortunately, Omnius has one last, deadly card to play. In a last-ditch effort to destroy humankind, virulent plagues are let loose throughout the galaxy, decimating the populations of whole planets . . . and once again, the tide of the titanic struggle shifts against the warriors of the human race. At last, the war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin.

In the greatest battle in science fiction history, human and machine face off one last time. . . . And on the desert planet of Arrakis, the legendary Fremen of Dune become the feared fighting force to be discovered by Paul Muad'Dib in Frank Herbert's classic, Dune.

Ratings and reviews

Don't read this. Try to find an audio book. Some nice moments, but I couldn't imagine trying to physically read this long book with many repetitious sections.

Captivating story in it's own right. Does an excellent job of setting the stage for later Dune books, providing the backstory only alluded to in the original novels. A little heavy handed at the end, "dumbing it down" when explaining how events in this book relate to the original Dune story. That's almost expected though, to avoid leaving some readers behind, and doesn't detract from the story. Excellent book.

On assiste à la découverte de l'épice, Erasmus qui tente de comprendre l'humain, qui dit que le robot peut lui être supérieur. En général on suit la domination des machines employant les cymeks (arroseur arrosé ). On révèle pourquoi et comment les Titans ont pris puis perdu le pouvoir. Selim l'exilé le 1er à.. Souvenez-vous de la mentalité Harkonnen et Atreides, comparez avec celles d'ici.
