Sisterhood of Dune

De: Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Narrado por: Scott Brick

The inspiration for the MAX original series DUNE: PROPHECY, coming Fall 2024!

It is 83 years after the last thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of a new Imperium.

The war hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on politics and Salusa Secundus. The descendants of the disgraced Abulurd Harkonnen have sworn vengeance against Vor, blaming him for the downfall of their noble family.

Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Bene Gesserit School and, through a terrible ordeal, has become the first Reverend Mother.

The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva use mutated, spice-saturated Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners.

And Gilbertus Albans, ward of the hated thinking machine Erasmus, is teaching humans to become Mentats…while hiding an unbelievable secret.

Led by the fanatic Manford Torondo, the Butlerian movement, fiercely opposed to all forms of "dangerous technology," sweeps across the known universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its path.

love DUNE!!!

This is my 13th book in the series - all hail 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 K. Anderson and Brian Herbert. Keep it going!

Not Frank but I enjoyed it

The storylines were pretty straight forward with enough surprises to make it interesting. This volume helped explain how many of the different ruling forces came to be to create the Dune society. The Dune universe is so interesting and can be applied to every period of mans development Herbert was such a philosopher ,theologian and anthropologist I’m glad his son has made this attempt to further explain the Dune Universe I’ve enjoyed every thing they have written about Dune.

The chapters were not in sync with the actual chap

the chapters were not in sinc w/ the actual chapters. although I found the narrator's voice lovely, his attempt at a Scottish/ Irish whatever was strange. I love this story. well done.

Good book

Explained a lot and keeps the story going. I thought I would learn more about the sisterhood

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK

so many paths, such a great continuation of the series. If you have come this far, then let's see what happens next.

Mob rule rules

I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. I just kept wishing there was at least one major character I could genuinely root for, but all had so many gray areas. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but I despised Manford Torondo and his Butlerian followers so much I found it difficult to get through the book. I can understand a warped mind, particularly given what Torondo's body had endured, but that so many seemingly intelligent people followed him slavishly upset me, probably because it echoes today's world all too accurately. People who become convinced they know what God wants can justify any atrocity to themselves. This has been true throughout human history, and it is true in this future scenario of a universe millenia from now.

I am intrigued by many elements in the story, which continues in the next two books ("Mentats of Dune," "Navigators of Dune"), but am debating whether I want more of all this bloodshed, torture, and destruction in the wake of a conflict fueled by religious fanaticism, techological achievement, and simple greed. Like I said, hits too close to home.

Definitely read the original, classic "Dune" first. Scott Brick is the voice of this series, and he is at his best here.

awesome

as from my others reviews. I have been binge listening to these! this series has me hooked!

excellent continuation of the Dune Saga

Loved this prequel to Dune. The writing is very well done and gets more and more interesting. I for one appreciate the excellent story content without the need to throw in significant amounts of sex and language. This novel stands up easily by itself

So good!

The Dune saga NEVER dissapoints! Great book and very well read by reader, well done all!

not as good as the first 3 but essential

it was a great book it was essential to the story but not as action packed as the first 3 before this
