Compelling. Unexpected.
The whole Dune series are excellent reads. I highly recommend them…MJC
While I gave it a 4 star rating – I found it to be very disappointing as the sequel to Dune.
Readable but nothing like Dune itself.
The entire Dune saga is well worth the time and effort.
One of the first science fiction books I read. It’s as good as any
A unique series by a unique writer. Well worth reading, several times.
This is a VERY dense read, esp. after reading the absolute and entertaining classic that is “Dune”…NOT what I would’ve expected for a sequel. Be warned.
