But still this one and his sister-novel are well worth the read even if they tell in essence only part of a larger tale. The unfinished novel has been written by his son and Kevin Anderson and those 2(!) books are so unlike the previous 6 Dune novels by Herbert that I do feel that it was not thought out by Frank Herbert at all as is claimed. The one thing that I have against the last two Dune novels in this trilogy is that having read them quite a few times he left us on a beautiful cliffhanger and then died. He once again creates an exciting new world but yet recognisable from his earlier Duneworlds. Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert 4.4 (70) Paperback 18.00 Paperback 18.00 eBook 9.99 Audiobook 0. Herbert does create once again a universe that is interesting and challenging to his readers. And of all the actors in the Dune books I have always had a very strong liking for the Sisterhood since they like Paul & Leto have a larger agenda than most other characters. In the fifteen hundred years since his passing, the Empire has fallen into ruin. Something that seems to be lacking in the writing of the continuation writers. Leto Atreides, the God Emperor of Dune, is dead. There are indeed strong links to the previous Dune books and characters and history.Īs always Frank Herbert does seems to really instill a sense of beauty and at the same time mystery in his writing. This was the first novel of a new trilogy with apperently the Bene Geserit sisterhood as leading characters who are still involved or lead by the vision of Leto II.
