Publisher's summary

Fifty-six hard years after the events of The Machine Crusade, after the death of Serena Butler, the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. 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. The war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin.

In the greatest battle of 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 Maud'Dib in Frank Herbert's classic, Dune.

Critic reviews

"Dune addicts will happily devour Herbert and Anderson's spicy conclusion to their second prequel trilogy." ( Publishers Weekly)

good book, and reading of it

I love all of the Dune books

I suggest all 18 Dune books. I’m on my second listening. You can’t go wrong with this series.

Dune: The Battle of Corrin (Unabridged)

Excellent third installment in the Prequel to the Prequel of the Dune series. When I finished it, I was sad to hear in the interview with the authors, that they really did not seem to plan to continue with another series. It seems that the transition from VenKey Enterprises (Norma) to the Spacing Guild, as well as the development of the Reverend Mothers would be the next point to be covered. As anyone reading this can see, the key to Brian's and Kevin's Genius, is that it can go on.

Good Job

This is not written by Frank Herbert, but Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson do an excellent job bringing to life one of the most important events in the Dune Universe. I like the fact that they do not pretend to be Frank Herbert, but they do continue the story and it is as captivating as the original six books.
I read quite a bit of science fiction, it is difficult sometimes to find something that will hold my attention. I have always been hesitant to read the non-Frank Dune books. The originals are seminal works, the fear of corruption is great, how could they be matched? The level of writing, intelligence and love of humanity in these books is equal to the challenge.
Good Job!

Strong story, long, but good...

The trilogy is amazing as whole... I thought some parts of the ending were rushed a little, but I would recommend this anyone digs 'dune.' Don't expect Frank H, but the world he created. Good listening..

Couldn't stop listening.

After reading (or listening) to all of the Dune series, I was anxiously awaiting the next book. It was not a disappointment. The authors developed the characters and explained some of the mysteries in the other Dune books. There were some surprising twists, too. I look forward to the next book.

sickness

performance was excellent
I'm listening to the battle of corrin, while in the middle of the coronavirus. makes a mind wander. this series is very enjoyable. the characters are wonderful. I would love to meet them.

The prequels were amazing

Really love how Brian and KJA brought the earlier years to life. Some great world building and struggle with fundamental aspects of what it means to be human. Anyone into sci-fi or the Dune books needs to read these three books.

great book

that was all around a great story. Expand a lot. I understand dune much better.

Excellent Book!

I’ve truly enjoy this book in the series and enjoyed both the story and the performance. Well done!
