About the book
As all good Frank Herbert fans know, a gap of several years occurs between the events of Dune and its sequel Dune Messiah. Now Frank Herbert's son Brian and famed science fiction writer Kevin J. Anderson have ably bridged that chasm with Paul of Dune, a novel that sustains the mythos and majesty of the original series. This epic installment describes Paul's triumph over the galaxy and struggles, military and psychological crises that accompany it. A worthy addition to one of science fiction's great cycles.
