With more than ten million copies sold, Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune books stand among the major achievements of the human imagination. In this, the fifth and most spectacular Dune book of all, the planet Arrakis--now called Rakis--is becoming desert again. The Lost Ones are returning home from the far reaches of space. The great sandworms are dying. And the children of Dune's children awaken from empire as from a dream, wielding the new power of a heresy called love...
Like all of the series so far, a very smart book. So many subjects and so much thought provoking material. I don't know why I'm always surprised it takes me longer to get through these.
Also, the closest thing to a cliffhanger I've experienced in the series. Kinda cool.
I'm really disappointed with Heretics of Dune. I loved the previous God Emperor of Dune and so my expectations were high.
The story is banal and there is a childish obsession with sex.
Sorry Frank Herbert but Heretics of Dune is simply not a good book.
