More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
The epic that began with the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic DUNE continues . . .
Product Description
The sand-blasted world of Arrakis has become green, watered and fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the desert Fremen to political and religious domination of the galaxy, is gone.
But for the children of Dune, the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own destruction. The altered climate is destroying the giant sandworms, and this in turn is disastrous for the planet¿s economy.
Leto and Ghanima, Paul Atreides¿s twin children and his heirs, can see possible solutions - but fanatics begin to challenge the rule of the all-powerful Atreides empire, and more than economic disaster threatens . . .

Format:Kindle Edition
Five stars for the book itself, 3rd in the series and an impressive bit of Sci-Fi, my favourite after the first book.
However, this kindle edition is very poor indeed. The conversion has been done very badly, and Gollancz have obviously not bothered to proof read the text at all. The spelling errors, incorrect words (bad character recognition in the conversion?), repeated or missed paragraphs is terrible and actually impinges on your ability to read the book properly. So at this point I would not recommend buying this version until they sort it out and do the corrections !!

Format:Paperback
I hate reading fiction... but I couldn't put this book down. I'd steamed through the first two some years ago - I remember I read the first page and then I got sucked in, they were so good - all the little bits and pieces just came flooding back as I read Children of Dune. Another truly fantastic book - Frank Herbert must have been a fascinating man.

Format:Paperback
Children of Dune is a great epic continuation of the storyline, with mindblowing decisions and schemes. It fascinates both through its story and through its complicated cvasi-philosophical ideas. The monumental figures of the original book are becoming more and more complex and the Dune universe reveals itself to be every bit as intricate as the real thing. Overall an excellent choice for any reader, regardless of age . A+

THE THIRD BOOK IN THE DUNE SAGA IS AS ENJOYABLE AS THE FIRST TWO.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ONE IS THE SPELLING, ITS TERRIBLE.

An excellent book marred by a poor copy
I thoroughly enjoyed Children of Dune, especially after Dune Messiah left me yearning for more due to it being all too brief. Read more

Hardened Dune fans will love this flawed sequel, but....
Herbert's saga moves on in this disjointed sequel which suffers from its political complexity more than anything. Read more

Best one so far
This book more than makes up for the second one, which was too short and lacked the structure and depth of the first one. Read more
