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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Dunes CreepAfer awhile, the story begins to drag and tries to throw everything in but the kitchen sink. Frank Herbert's Dune (The original Novel) was so much more than the sum of all its parts. Here, the story meanders aimlessly onward, trying to serve up a big whopping finale, trying to appease those fans whose imagination have gone lacking. The finesse of government, religion, industry, Machiavelli intrigues and the slavish addiction to a rare commodity has never been equaled or surpassed. Sooner or later, ... Read More Rating: - A decent book ... if it wasn't a Dune book.Let me just say that living up to Frank Herbert's legacy would be a daunting and impossible task for anyone. The pressure that his son must have felt writing these books must have been incredible. It's really unfair to hold him to the same standards but, that said, this IS a Dune book so the comparison must be made, unfair or not. The book would be a decent SF novel, in my opinion, if it was not a Dune book. The writing is not sharp or insightful and the plot lacks both finesse and, even worse, ... Read More Rating:  - The original vision for Dune is now completeThis book Sandworms of Dune, coupled with Hunters of Dune were based on an outline left in a safe desposit box by Frank Herbert before he died. Two decades later, his son Brian and author Kevin J Anderson take this outline and produce a fantastic, stunning, and at times mindblowing conclusion to Frank Herbert's original Dune storyline. Like all Dune fans, the ending of Chapterhouse left me scratching my head saying 'is this all?', knowing full well that the author had passed away. Being able to read this ... Read More Rating:  - Sandworms of DuneHaving read Hunters of Dune I was very anxious to read the conclusion. I enjoyed it, but I needed more. More details about certain characters agendas and motivation, certainly more details about space flight and ship to ship battles. The series was unpredictable the whole way through, which is a big part of its appeal to me and then the ending arrived suddenly and the "revelations" were anticlimactic. Loved the characters though. I would definitely recommend this book to fans of the series. Rating:  - I LOL at you fools.That's SIX TIMES that you deleted my review. I will just keep coming back and reposting it if this continues. I can't believe that you're so hard-up for good ratings that you delete negative ratings and actually PAY people to shill for you! I was kinder in my last review and explained WHY the book was bad. However, since my review got deleted so many times, I shall not be so kind. Brian Herbert is not his father. With that in mind, I read this book, not expecting him ... Read More
