Author's Brain Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson bring us the last book in the Schools of Dune Trilogy. Picking up after the events of Mentats of Dune, Venport has been held up at his companies main planet but the events of both his and Manfords war has caused the new Emperor to force the war to an end. Manford has used forbidden atmics on Venports main company planet. That has caused them to up their production of Cymeks to take on the Butlerian's for a second time though this time with the permission from the Emperor. As this is going on both House Atredies and House Harkonnen have taken their vendetta to Corrin where the end of the war with the machine Empire ended. Several things are happening all at once with the end of Emeris and Roddrick Corrino's sister Anna dying in each other's arms. The war ending in ways that I will not get into. This book is a great prequel to Dune and I'm looking forward to the next six prequel novels beginning with House Atredies. And you'll want to read how the first Navigator deals with the Corrino Emperor and creates the Spacing Guild. I highly recommend this book to all Dune and science fiction fans.
