Book Reviews of Sandworms of DuneBook Review: The original vision for Dune is now complete Summary: 5 Stars
This book Sandworms of Dune, coupled with Hunters of Dune were based on an outline left in a safe desposit box by Frank Herbert before he died. Two decades later, his son Brian and author Kevin J Anderson take this outline and produce a fantastic, stunning, and at times mindblowing conclusion to Frank Herbert's original Dune storyline. Like all Dune fans, the ending of Chapterhouse left me scratching my head saying 'is this all?', knowing full well that the author had passed away. Being able to read this book and see the series concluded in such a profound way was exciting to say the least. Many have criticized Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson for falling short of the prosaic vision and authorship of the original Herbert. I for one am glad to see the series finished and done well. Consider this a necessary read for all Dune fans, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Summary of Sandworms of DuneAt the end of Frank Herbert's final novel, Chapterhouse: Dune, a ship carrying a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. The fugitives used genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past--including Paul Muad'Dib and Lady Jessica--to use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.
Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in two safe-deposit boxes for a decade, Sandworms of Dune will answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades: the origin of the Honored Matres, the tantalizing future of the planet Arrakis, the final revelation of the Kwisatz Haderach, and the resolution to the war between Man and Machine. This breathtaking new novel in Frank Herbert?s Dune series has enough surprises and plot twists to please even the most demanding reader.
