Sinossi
Sono passati nove anni da quando Paul Muad'dib è scomparso nel deserto affidando la reggenza dell'impero e la cura dei figli alla sorella Alia. La trasformazione ecologica di Arrakis prosegue con regolarità mentre il pianeta vive un periodo di grandi cambiamenti sociali ed economici e la religione sorta attorno alla carismatica figura di Paul Muad'dib, trasformata da Alia in una soffocante burocrazia che minaccia di ridurre in schiavitù la galassia, richiama notevoli folle di pellegrini provenienti da migliaia di mondi. Alia, intanto, si appresta a distruggere l'opera del fratello, servendosi delle trame della vecchia aristocrazia e del Bene Gesserit, che opera attraverso Lady Jessica, per completare l'antico programma genetico prodotto da Paul. Spetterà a Ghanima e Leto, figli di Paul e detentori dell'immenso e terrificante potere della memoria genetica dell'umanità, mettere a posto le cose.

What's the hand signal for terrible? Children of Dune is missing the elements that worked so well in Dune: no heroes, no unexpected, shocking deaths, no common goals, no building up of characters. This book is so dreadfully boring. When I was at the 80% mark, I could have DNFed the book--I just didn' Leggi tutto
I kept getting these telephone calls from people asking me if I were starting a cult. The answer: “God no!” - Frank Herbert. I originally read the ‘Dune’ sequence in my teens when I discovered SF for the first time. Among my own Golden Age pantheon of seminal writers such as Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, Leggi tutto
There are two schools of thought on the Dune series. One is that they are epic, revelatory scifi all the way through, one is that after the glorious first book you traverse a lonely, winding path of diminishing returns in the sequels. I'm going to throw in with the latter group. Herbert created a fa Leggi tutto
