Frank Herbert's Final Novel in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles--the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time
The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. The remnants of the Old Empire have been consumed by the violent matriarchal cult known as the Honored Matres. Only one faction remains a viable threat to their total conquest--the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune's power.
Under the leadership of Mother Superior Darwi Odrade, the Bene Gesserit have colonized a green world on the planet Chapterhouse and are turning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile. And once they've mastered breeding sandworms, the Sisterhood will control the production of the greatest commodity in the known galaxy--the spice melange. But their true weapon remains a man who has lived countless lifetimes--a man who served under the God Emperor Paul Muad'Dib....

Comme souvent avec Frank Herbert et son cycle de Dune, le début du roman est un peu compliqué à lire et peut sembler ennuyant. Les pensées et les machinations des Bene Gesserit sont obscures, parfois à la limite de la caricature. Tout s'éclaire pourtant à la fin, et cela me laisse une très bonne impression de ce roman et du cycle original de Frank Hebert. Je vais maintenant m'attaquer à la lecture ou relecture des deux « séquelles » écrites par son fils.
On en apprend toujours plus sur l'univers de Dune mais on reste également avec plein de nouvelles questions. Je vais d'ailleurs m'empresser d'aller chercher les réponses dans les deux tomes suivants.

We learn even more about the world of Dune but we also have lots of new questions. I will hasten to find the answers in the next two volumes.
Nu credeam ca o sa fiu asa de ofticat din cauza ca seria nu e gata... de ce Herbert, de ce a trebuit sa mori asa repede :((
