Decades after the original novels of the "Dune" saga, Frank Herbert's son--writing in conjunction with Kevin J. Anderson--pens this exciting prequel. Working from Frank Herbert's own notes, the authors reveal the chapter of the "Dune" saga most eagerly anticipated by readers: the Butlerain Jihad
Earth is a radioactive ruin. But the initial campaign of the Butlerian Jihad has given new hope to mankind. Serena Butler, whose murdered child has become a symbol for oppressed humanity, inspires a war against the thinking computers led by Xavier Harkonnen and Vorian Atreides. But four of the Titans - murderous machines with human brains and human cunning - still remain. And the universal computer mind, Omnius, still wields most of its power.
Human and machine face off one last time in this "New York Times" bestseller. ""Dune" addicts will happily devour Herbert and Anderson's spicy conclusion to their second prequel trilogy."--"Publishers Weekly."
