Book One in the classic conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide
bestselling Dune Chronicles
Hunters of Dune and the concluding volume, Sandworms of Dune, bring
together the great story lines and beloved characters in Frank Herbert's
classic Dune universe, ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to
the original Dune series and beyond. Based directly on Frank Herbert's
final outline, which lay hidden in a safe-deposit box for a decade,
these two volumes will finally answer the urgent questions Dune fans
have been debating for two decades.
At the end of *Chapterhouse: Dune--*Frank Herbert's final novel--a ship
carrying the ghola of Duncan Idaho, Sheeana (a young woman who can
control sandworms), and a crew of various refugees escapes into the
uncharted galaxy, fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres, dark
counterparts to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The nearly invincible
Honored Matres have swarmed into the known universe, driven from their
home by a terrifying, mysterious Enemy.
As designed by the creative genius of Frank Herbert, the primary story
of Hunters and Sandworms is the exotic odyssey of Duncan's no-ship
as it is forced to elude the diabolical traps set by the ferocious,
unknown Enemy. To strengthen their forces, the fugitives have used
genetic technology from Scytale, the last Tleilaxu Master, to revive key
figures from Dune's past--including Paul Muad'Dib and his beloved Chani,
Lady Jessica, Stilgar, Thufir Hawat, and even Dr. Wellington Yueh. Each
of these characters will use their special talents to meet the
challenges thrown at them.
Failure is unthinkable--not only is their survival at stake, but they
hold the fate of the entire human race in their hands.
