A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Eighty-three years after the last of the thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, the grandson of Faykan Butler, Emperor Salvador, rules the Imperium, but his power is threatened by rabidly anti-technology Manford Torondo and his million-strong mobs sweeping across the universe, destroying everything in their path.
Meanwhile, the hero of Corrin, Vorian Atreides, has turned his back on politics to live on remote Kepler, little knowing that Griffin and Valya Harkonnen, holding Vor to account for their family's downfall, plot their revenge against him.
On Rossak, the Sisters of the Bene Gesserit plot against the Imperium; on Lampadas, Gilbertus Albans, trainer of the first Mentats, protégé of the detested robot Erasmus and keeper of an unbelievable secret, is dragged into the conflict by the fanatic Torondo. In the middle of everything sits Venport Holdings, consolidating their grip on interstellar travel with the use of spice-saturated Navigators.
Everyone will be forced to choose sides in the inevitable crusade between Reason and Faith that could destroy humankind forever.
'Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision' Dean Koontz
'In a word, satisfying; all Dune fans will want to investigate, newcomers will be tempted' Kirkus
'Zips along faster than light' Publishers Weekly

Présentation de l'éditeur :

It is 83 years after the last of the thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler established himself as the first Emperor of a new imperium. War hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on Salusa Secundus, flying off to parts unknown. Abulurd Harkonnen, convicted of cowardice, was sent away to live on gloomy Lankiveil, and his descendants continue to blame Vor for the downfall of their fortunes.
Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Bene Gesserit School as the first Reverend Mother. Descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva have built a powerful transportation company using mutated Navigators who fly "spacefolder ships".
Gilbertus Albans has established a school on bucolic Lampadas teaching humans to become Mentats. Even so, decades after the defeat of the thinking machines, anti-technology fervor continues to sweep across the human-settled planets, with powerful fanatical groups imposing violent purges…
