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)

outstanding

very interesting, to get background on house corrine, history of mentats, the sisterhood, the rivalry between house harkinan and atreides, the destruction of thinking machines. highly recommend! excellent story and reading!!!

awesome book

loved it and would recommend it to every one. nice reading by Mr brick. thanks!

Enjoying the progression

i am filling in the gaps between each book with Tales of Dune. They jave done a great job with keeping with the Legacy of his original works and bringing so much to the over all arc of Dune. Onto the Sisterhood of Dune

Another great read/listen

The battle of corrin answered a lot of questions i had after jumping into the series at Dune(2021). I'm excited to start the next book and fill in more blanks.

So far the best of all the DUNE books

I am working my way through the prequels having also listened to the original Dune stories on here, and this was so far the best of them all…
Immersive, complex and paced it lays the ground the divide in the two central houses that would last for generations whilst completing the storyline of the thinking machine history and their thousand year rein…

Excellent reading throughout as one has come to expect from Scott Brick. I am already looking forward to the opportunity to listen to it all again, just not until after completing the series first…

Another Good Dune Prequel

Good story about the end of the war with the machines. Held my interest for the entire book. With this book, all the pieces needed for Dune fall into place, the Bene Gesserits, the Spicing Guild, the Fremen, and the Noble Houses.

laser shield bombs, done

I was glad with how the series ended but I still think too much effort was made to tie in every concept Frank Herbert had in his setting 10,000 years from the events in this book.

however I think the whole bit about nuclear weapons was unnecessary since a simple laser and a shield does the same thing as a nuke. it seems like there were easier ways to destroy the machines.

Great Story

Love the book it let me understand the complexity of the Dune Universe. Thanks

Great Book, gives wonderful background t

Great book. gives a wonderful background to the epic universe of Dune . You get the background of the feud between the two houses of Atradies and Harkonnen

Vor Attrides a strong, uncompremissing character.
