4.0 out of 5 stars The best of the prequels, 27 Jul 2001
By richhandford@aol.com (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
The partnership of Anderson and Herbert finally seems to be working. after a shaky start with 'House Atreides' the duo has finally managed some very respectable plot and character development (the Duncan Idaho character being paticularly fascinating.)

The main gripe is that the book does not have the philosophical punch of its predecessors and its scale is far less ambitious, indeed the entire style of writing is different. However once you overcome these hurdles the book is a pleasure to read and i found myself reading through the 600 pages or so in very little time.

This book has not the scale of its predecessors nor the intellectual weight, but it is a damn fine read and is a more than credible addition to the dune universe. I only hope that the hinted-at sequal to chapter house becomes a reality.
