Sinossi
Nella Rocca del pianeta Gammu, il dodicesimo ghola di Duncan Idaho è osservato attentamente dalle Reverende Madri Schwangyu e da Lucilla. Il Bene Gesserit ha dei progetti per lui, e ha richiamato in servizio il Maestro d'Armi Miles Teg per il suo addestramento. Tuttavia, i piani del Bene Gesserit rischiano di essere sconvolti da una nuova minaccia: le Matres Onorate, in contrasto con le Reverende Madri, sono tornate dalla Dispersione e, grazie ai loro poteri straordinari, stanno soggiogando i popoli al proprio volere. Intanto, su Rakis, l'ordine dei Sacerdoti deve confrontarsi con il dono di Sheeana, una precoce ragazzina in grado di comandare i grossi vermi della sabbia, creature che portano in sé frammenti di consapevolezza dell'Imperatore-Dio Leto II, ancora influente sebbene scomparso ormai da millenni. Tra disegni oscuri e intrighi per la conquista del potere, in questo quinto capitolo della saga, Dune rischia di cadere in mani pericolose, e nel suo destino si scorge l'ombra di un nuovo cambiamento.

The guards ushered Frank into the office. As usual, the Reverend Publisher was seated at her desk, writing. So many lives touched by her decisions , he thought. "Well?" She looked up. He had promised himself that he would not flinch before the fire of her gaze, and once more he broke his promise. "It is. Leggi tutto
I know, you are like, wait, 5 stars? Really? And I am, like, I really enjoyed this book. I mean, I learned about much of the Dune universe that was never mentioned in the first four books (sex, Ix, the Tleilaxu, the Bene Geserit proscription of love...) and I really liked Teg and Odrade and even Luc Leggi tutto
2,5/5 Moja silna potrzeba trzymania się czegoś starego, co jest mi już dobrze znane, nieco mnie zgubiła w tym tomie. Skupiamy się tu na zgromadzeniach żeńskich, a wśród postaci pojawia się tylko jedna z poprzednich tomów. Miałam duży problem, żeby się w niej odnaleźć i stąd tak niska ocena. Leggi tutto
Re-Read 8/3/21: Returning to the world of Dune, or rather, what's become of what was once a vibrant, vital center of the universe, is always a treat. Even after Leto had seeded himself across the world. But truly, the standouts are never whom you thought they should have been. In this re-read, the fou Leggi tutto
I had no idea that ‘Sandworm’ is a nickname for Unit 74455, a notorious Russian cybermilitary outfit. Sounds just like the kind of thing that would have pounced on humanity from the darkness of the Scattering. By the way, this idea of the Scattering – an edge of the known universe where criminality, Leggi tutto

The universe that was once ruled by Houses Corrino and Atreides have fallen into chaos and is controlled by dozens of bickering fac Leggi tutto
Heretics of Dune Book 5 of the Dune Chronicles A Dune Retrospective by Eric Allen Heretics of Dune is a bit of an odd book in my experience. The first time I read God Emperor of Dune I was so put off the series by it that I refused to pick Heretics up for almost an entire decade. When finally I did pi Leggi tutto
I’m one of those weirdos that actually likes the entirety of Frank Herbert’s Dune series even after you get past the first three volumes and the direct history of Muad’Dib and his family and start wading into some seriously weird stuff (and saying that the later volumes of the series are weird when Leggi tutto
