Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert  follows Miles Teg, a military commander entangled in the politics of the Bene Gesserit and others vying for control over the spice melange. However, the book is weighed down by uncomfortable and graphic elements, including disturbing depictions of pubescent characters, women using intimacy as a means of power, and a particularly unsettling scene involving the torture of a man.
I didn't like it, but it was better than God Emperor of Dune.
