From New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J.
Anderson, Dune: The Machine Crusade continues the fantastic saga of
Frank Herbert's Dune. . .
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 grow weary of war, of the bloody,
inconclusive swing from victory to defeat.
The fearsome 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 any place in the galaxy.
And on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider
and his band of outlaws take the first steps towards making themselves
the feared fighters who will change the course of mankind: the Fremen.
