Book Reviews of Children of Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 3)
Book Review: A vast improvment over #2
Summary: 5 Stars
This book lays the groundwork for the rest of the Dune Series. Litto II and his sister are young children now, almost adolescents. It is not known what happened to their Father Paul. A few remnants of the old books survive in Gerny Hallack and Stilgar who no their best to safeguard the kids. But all 4 will be caught up in the vast changes sweeping the planet Arrakis, as their world Dune starts to die. Or that is, the deserts dry up.
A great book as always interspersed with that wonderful Frank Herbert poetry adding a new depth to the story, a must for any serious Sci-fi fan.
Book Review: After failure comes success. Another great Herbert book
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading "Dune Messiah" i was thinking about not reading any other Dune book. I did good not to do so. After hours of boredom with "Dune Messiah" here comes the deliverance. This book deals with the childhood of the dead Dune hero's kids. Dune is in a change. The Fremen are trying to fertilize the desert soil of Arrakis. They want the planet to be more friendly with it's inhabitants. Go with Leto, the dead Emperor's son onto a trip you won't forget and watch his transformation into something much more powerfull then man.Book Review: The dynasty lives on
Summary: 5 Stars
Leto II takes over where Paul failed. This book is about his and Ghanima's maturation and assumption of the power and legacy that Paul has left them: leadership of the Fremen, an increasingly powerful force in the galaxy due to their control of the spice. As they're growing up, Paul's sister Alia is in charge and succumbs to evil (you'll be shocked to find out who takes over her mind).However, enemies and conspirators are hard at work to eliminate the twins. A great novel with a dynamite plot and dialogue. Plenty of action!
Book Review: Hero of Classic Sci-fi
Summary: 5 Stars
Rarely has a book been as beautifully and poniontly written as Children of Dune, Frank Herbert's third book in the Dune Chronicles. Filled with all of the original cast and several new charecters, Children of Dune explores like its predecessors the creation of Gods and Messiahs from men, albeit prodigal men, but men nonetheless; the creations of empires and the development of societies; and the relationships that bind people together throughout the ages.
In short, a wonderful book that I highly recommend.
Book Review: "For God's sake shall we sit upon the ground....
Summary: 5 Stars
....and tell sad stories of the death of kings?" Here many threads come together into a climax of monumental scope, and humanity sets out on the Golden Path...a path with a suspicious wideness to it. What do you think of Leto's plan? Frank Herbert foresaw this as the last DUNE book. It wasn't, of course, but the children of Muad'Dib have a plan of their own (as fictional characters often do, even in defiance of their author)....a plan that will set the Imperium on a strange course indeed.
