Vier verhalen uit het Duniverse. Drie die zich afspelen rond het eerste Dune boek en zorgen voor een verrassende diepgang, met veel plezier gelezen. Het laatste verhaal speelt zich daar ver voor af, dichter na de Battle of Corrin. Net als het door mij eerder gelezen The Butlerian Jihad toch echt een stuk minder. Die hele voorgeschiedenis boeit toch een stuk minder, het blijft toch een beetje b-kwaliteit Dune.
