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.
