Book Three in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles—the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time

The Children of Dune are twin siblings Leto and Ghanima Atreides, whose father, the Emperor Paul Muad’Dib, disappeared in the desert wastelands of Arrakis nine years ago. Like their father, the twins possess supernormal abilities—making them valuable to their manipulative aunt Alia, who rules the Empire in the name of House Atreides.

Facing treason and rebellion on two fronts, Alia’s rule is not absolute. The displaced House Corrino is plotting to regain the throne while the fanatical Fremen are being provoked into open revolt by the enigmatic figure known only as The Preacher. Alia believes that by obtaining the secrets of the twins’ prophetic visions, she can maintain control over her dynasty.

But Leto and Ghanima have their own plans for their visions—and their destinies....

Back on Arrakis

It took me a while to get used to Herbert's style again but still I loved being back on Dune. The story gets continously more wierd and cerebral but I would expect nothing less from this series. Sadly I didn't find Leto II as compelling a main character as Paul. I still enjoyed the Ghani, Alia and especially the Jessica chapters and I wish we had more of them and a bit less Leto. All the themes that drew me into this series are being explored further.

Abgefahren

Von den ersten drei Büchern finde ich dieses Buch bislang am besten, obwohl ich das erste ebenfalls sehr mochte. Es beginnt mit vielen Intrigen innerhalb der Familie zwischen den Familienmitgliedern und das letzte Drittel ist ein reiner Spice-Drogentrip. Sehr abgefahren.

Immer noch so gut, wie ich es in Erinnerung habe und viele hochaktuelle Beobachtungen über menschliche Gesellschaften und den Drang zur Selbstzerstörung, zur Mythenbildung und zu den Gefahren charismatischer Anführer. Die Zwillinge und ihre Reise sind vielleicht noch spannender als Pauls.
