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.

Aldiss on Dune * A novel of extraordinary complexity ... the work of a speculative intellect with few rivals in modern SF * The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction on Dune * Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious * Robert A. Heinlein on Dune * One of the monuments of modern science fiction * The Chicago Tribune on Dune * An astonishing science fiction phenomenon * The Washington Post on Dune * It is possible that Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published * The New Yorker on Dune * I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings * Arthur C.
