Hunters Of Dune

Description: Fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres -- dark counterparts of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood -- Duncan Idaho, the military genius Bashar Miles Teg, a woman named Sheeana who can talk to sandworms, and a group of desperate refugees explore the boundaries of the universe. Aboard their sophisticated no-ship, they have used long-stored cells to resurrect heroes and villains from the past, including Paul Muad'dib and his love Chani, Duke Leto Atreides and his Lady Jessica, even the traitor Doctor Yueh, all in preparation for a final confrontation with a mysterious outside Enemy so great it can destroy even the terrible Honored Matres. And, deep in the hold of their giant ship, the refugees carry the last surviving sandworms from devastated Arrakis, as they search the universe for a new Dune.

Review: "* 'Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision.' - Dean Koontz * 'Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied' - The Times * 'Unique among SF novels... I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings.' - Arthur C. Clarke on DUNE * 'Herbert and Anderson have met the challenge admirably. Within a web of relationships in which no act has simple of predictable consequences, they lay the foundation of the Dune saga... A terrific read in its own right... Will inspire readers to turn, or return, to its great predecessor.' - Publishers Weekly * 'A triumphant climax to the history of the Dune universe.' - The Bookseller on THE BATTLE OF CORRIN"
