Dune: The Butlerian Jihad
Cover Blurb

Brian Herbert
"This compelling saga of men and women struggling for freedom is required reading for Dune fans."
-
Library Journal
Frank Herbert's
Dune
is one of the great creations of imaginative literature, science fiction's answer to
The Lord of the Rings
.
Decades after Herbert's original novels, the
Dune
saga was continued by Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, in collaboration with Kevin J. Anderson. Working from Frank Herbert's own notes, the acclaimed authors reveal the chapter of the
Dune
saga most eagerly anticipated by readers: the Butlerian Jihad.
Throughout the Dune novels, Frank Herbert frequently referred to war in which humans wrested their freedom from "thinking machines." In
Dune: The Butlerian Jihad
, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring to life the story of that war, a tale previously seen only in tantalizing hints and clues. Finally, we see how Serena Butler's passionate grief ignites the struggle that will liberate humans from their machine masters; here is the amazing tale of the Zensunni Wanderers, who escape bondage to flee to the desert world where they will declare themselves the Free Men of Dune. And here is the backward, nearly forgotten planet Arrakis, where traders have discovered the remarkable properties of the spice
melange...

Dune: The Machine Crusade
THE FANTASTIC SAGA OF
FRANK HERBERT'S
DUNE
CONTINUES
IN
DUNE: THE MACHINE CRUSADE
...
More than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in
Dune: The Butlerian Jihad
. The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years; the human worlds have grown weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing from victory to defeat.
The feersome cymeks, led by Agamemnon, hatch new plots to regain their lost power from Omnius. Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva are on the verge of the most important discovery in human history - a way to "fold" space and travel instantaneously to anyplace in the galaxy.
And on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider and his band ot outlaws take the first steps toward making themselves the feared fighters who will change the course of mankind: the Fremen.
"The kind of intricate plotting and philosophical musings that would make the elder Herbert proud." -

Dune
addicts will hapily devour Herbert and Anderson's spicy conclusion to their second prequel trilogy." -
Publisher's Weekly
on
Dune: The Battle of Corrin
.
It has been fifty-six hard years since the events of The Machine Crusade. Following the Death of Serena Butler, Synchronized Worlds and Unallied Planets are liberated one by one, and at long last, the human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict is finally in sight.
Unfortunately, Omnius has one last, deadly card to play. Virulent plagues are let loose throughout the galaxy, decimating the populations of whole planets... and once again, the tide of the titanic struggle shifts against the human race. At last, the war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin.
In the greatest battle in science fiction hostory, human and machine face off one last time.... And on the desert planet of Arrakis, the legendary Fremen become the feared fighting force to be discovered by Paul Muad'Dib in Frank Herbert's classic
Dune
.
