More than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in
The Butlerian Jihad.
The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years, but the
forces led by Serena Butler and Iblis Ginjo have made only slight gains;
the human worlds grow weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing
from victory to defeat.
The fearsome cymeks, led by Agamemnon,
hatch new plots to regain their lost power from Omnius--as their numbers
dwindle and time begins to run out. The fighters of Ginaz, led by Jool
Noret, forge themselves into an elite warrior class, a weapon against
the machine-dominated worlds. Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva are on
the verge of the most important discovery in human history-a way to
"fold" space and travel instantaneously to any place in the galaxy.
And
on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider and
his band of outlaws take the first steps to making themselves the
feared fighters who will change the course of history: the Fremen.
Here
is the unrivaled imaginative power that has put Brian Herbert and Kevin
Anderson on bestseller lists everywhere and earned them the high
regard of readers around the globe. The fantastic saga of
Dune continues in
Dune: The Machine Crusade.
