Product Description

Product Description

The long-established galactic order is passing. The Honoured Matres, ruthless and all-conquering, have destroyed the planet Dune. In opposition, hard-pressed but still fighting back, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood co-ordinate their resistance from their as-yet undiscovered home world, Chapter House. Now as a new Scattering is planned, they still have one carefully nurtured asset: the sandworms, offspring of the only giant worm salvaged from Dune. Chapter House is to about to turn into a barren wasteland: Chapter House will be the new Dune.


About the Author

Frank Herbert (1920-86) was born in Tacoma, Washington and worked as a reporter and later editor of a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first sf story was published in 1952 but he achieved fame more than ten years later with the publication in Analog of 'Dune World' and 'The Prophet of Dune' that were amalgamated in the novel Dune in 1965.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great saga has ended, 14 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Chapter House Dune (Paperback)
The last Dune book is one of the best. It includes all of Frank Herberts abilities as a writer. Told from many perspectives, [including the Honored Matres] it has a complex and fast plot, great characters like Spider Queen, Miles Teg, Dunkan, Sheeana and a great climax. One of the things I actually liked about it was that it left a lot of un-answered questions that you can try and think up posible answers for . The characters were believable, the plot great but the only thing slightly wrong was the sort of abrupt ending. A must-read for all ages, I would know, I'm 13 and my father who just read it and really liked it and he's over 50!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book., 17 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Chapter House Dune (Paperback)
This book really is good. It might confuse people who haven't read the previous books, but for those that have Chapter House will really stick with you. I think it will appeal to almost everyone; characterisation, philosophy, science fiction, whatever you are interested in you will love it. The characters are believable in their own way, appealing and sensible; the settings are interesting, and the plot inspired. You really can't put this book down - the same is true of the whole series. The only complaint I have with it is that there isn't enough of it! So many unanswered questions - what happens to Scytale's nullentropy tube? What happens to Idaho and the no-ship? Do the worms survive? Who are the face dancers behind the net? Don't let those questions dissuade you from reading the series. The Dune books are the sci-fi equivalent of Lord of the Rings, but with even more depth. A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars For those who despair at long series do not........., 7 Feb 2004
This is a great book al though I am biased and dislike long series as a rule I found the continuing adventures of the Bene Gesserit and the Bashar Miles Teg wonderful.This was never intended to be the end Frank Herbert wrote the plot for the final novel in the series and his son is working on it.Try his prequel and Legends series they are really jolly good.
The Dune series is wonderful full of hope for human potential and also supremly concious of our great failings.

Bad points first: Herbert always had the highly annoying need to go on about philosophy in his books. This is fine, but NOT for 3 damn pages. Read more
