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.
As the no-ship Ithaca flees through space, the heroes of HUNTERS OF
DUNE finally meet the Enemy who followed the violent fanatics, the
Honored Matres, back to their universe. The thinking machines
vanquished by Serena Butler's jihad were not destroyed, only driven
into exile - and now, tens of thousands of years later, they are
back. Can the resurrected heroes on board the Ithaca save our race
from annihilation?
Fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres - dark counterparts of
the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood - Duncan Idaho, the military genius
Bashar Miles Teg, a woman named Sheeana who can talk to sandworms,
and a group of desperate refugees explore the boundaries of the
universe. Aboard their sophisticated no-ship, they have used
long-stored cells to resurrect heroes and villains from the past,
including Paul Muad'Dib, in preparation for a final confrontation
with a mysterious outside Enemy so great it can destroy even the
terrible Honored Matres. And, deep in the hold of their giant ship,
the refugees carry the last surviving sandworms from devastated
Arrakis, as they search the universe for a new Dune. 'Frank Herbert
would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his
vision.' Dean Koontz
