Hunters of Dune and the concluding volume, Sandworms of
Dune, bring together the great story lines and beloved
characters in Frank Herbert's classic Dune universe,
ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to the
original Dune series and beyond. Based directly on Frank
Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in a safe-
deposit box for a decade, these two volumes will finally
answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating
for two decades.At the end of Chapterhouse: Dune-Frank
Herbert's final novel--a ship carrying the ghola of Duncan
Idaho, Sheeana (a young woman who can control sandworms),
and a crew of various refugees escapes into the uncharted
galaxy, fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres, dark
counterparts to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The nearly
invincible Honored Matres have swarmed into the known
universe, driven from their home by a terrifying,
mysterious Enemy. As designed by the creative genius of
Frank Herbert, the primary story of Hunters and Sandworms
is the exotic odyssey of Duncan's no-ship as it is forced
to elude the diabolical traps set by the ferocious,
unknown Enemy. To strengthen their forces, the fugitives
have used genetic technology from Scytale, the last
Tleilaxu Master, to revive key figures from Dune's past-
including Paul Muad'Dib and his beloved Chani, Lady
Jessica, Stilgar, Thufir Hawat, and even Dr. Wellington
Yueh. Each of these characters will use their special
talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.Failure is
unthinkable--not only is their survival at stake, but they
hold the fate of the entire human race in their hands.
