Synopsis

Book Two in the stunning conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles

At 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.

"There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story." - Frank Herbert After all this time, we have come to the journey's end. And the contribution of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson to the wonders of that journey should not be frowned upon. While I personally wanted more from th......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on February 06, 2017

When I look back on everything I've read and learned, wrapping up this series is a truly enormous task. I mean, this has got to be one of the most ambitious works to ever try to clean up and jam down our throats, like, ever. I'm not saying it succeeds, mind you, but I've got to give these guys props......more

I finished the series!!!! The main series, anyway. We'll see when I'll get to alll the other books. If I could insert that Elmo fire gif I would (I know there's a way, but I can't be bothered right now). It only took me, oh, ten months to finish the eight books, with some breaks in between (and that......more

Goodreads review by June on January 04, 2008

Years ago as I closed the book "Chapterhouse Dune" I could hardly wait for the next book in the series. Then Frank Herbert had the audacity to die. I thought I would never know what was going on! Brian Herbert, while not exactly his father, has done a more than adequate job in tying up all the loose......more

Goodreads review by Karen’s Library on July 04, 2024

I swear I had read Sandworns of Dune a long time ago right after it first released, but I have NO recollection of the end to Frank Herbert’s original Dune series. I think I should have remembered some of the key items (like gholas). So since I have no memory, I guess this was a brand new read for me......more
