A review by lizella
Sandworms of Dune by Brian Herbert
3.0
This is the first book of the Dune saga originated by Frank Herbert written by his son Brian Herbert. It was noted that this book was written based on an outline created by Frank. While I could definitely feel a subtle shift in the writing, it remains true to the spirit of the series.
This book picks up years after the last book with a number of important historical figures from the beginning of the series brought back as gholas. The chronological order is disrupted, with parents and children the same age or reversed in order, creating a unique exploration of what these relationships mean.
Much is explained about the Honored Madre invasion and the fate of human kind is uncertain as the thinking machines, back from near extinction, are making a move to subvert humanity. We are taken on an unexpected journey through history, fate and consciousness that ends in the evolution of the inhabitants of Herbert’s universe.
