Herbert, Brian House Harkonnen
Spectra August 28, 2001 0-553-58030-2 / 9780553580303 Paperback Very Good
Don't even think about reading House Harkonnen without reading its predeces sor Dune: House Atreides; anyone who does so risks sinking in the sands bet ween Frank Herbert's original Dune and this prequel trilogy by Herbert's so n, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson. The purist argument that had Frank Herbert wanted to go backwards he would have done so is, at least in part, negated by the sheer narrative verve, and by the fact that Anderson and Brian Herb ert manage to pull some genuine surprises out of this long-running space-op era. House Harkonnen is a massive book, and there are places where it becom es plot heavy, but in following the story of Duke Leto Atreides and the con flicts with House Harkonnen, the authors succeed in spinning a gripping adv enture while going off in some unexpected directions. Anderson, who has wri tten many successful Star Wars novels, has noted his particular admiration for The Empire Strikes Back, and his desire to emulate that film's dark tak e on the genre. In House Harkonnen, the conflict encompasses the tragedy of nuclear war, marked by grief and horror, vengeance and torment, and all wh ile the complex intrigues continue to unfold. As one character puts it: Everything has its cost. We pay to create our future, we pay for the mistak es of the past. We pay for every change we make--and we pay just as dearly if we refuse to change. Ultimately this is the theme of a compelling game of consequences, choices, and responsibility, a study of Leto's growth into power and the price of politics and love.

Herbert, Brian Hunters of Dune
Tor Science Fiction June 26, 2007 0-7653-5148-X / 9780765351487 Paperback Near Fine
After two prequel trilogies to the legendary SF epic (the Legends of Dune a nd Prelude to Dune series), Frank Herbert's son Brian, in collaboration wit h Anderson, launch a new trilogy that takes up where Herbert Sr. left off w ith Chapterhouse: Dune (1985). This entertaining if over-the-top update beg ins three years after the refugee "no-ship," Ithaca, has fled Chapterhouse and the brutal Honored Matres, a corrupted faction of the all-female Bene G esserit order led by Mother Commander Murbella. Duncan Idaho, Murbella's ex -love slave, guides the ship carrying reincarnated warrior Miles Teg, the d issident Rev. Mother Sheeana and 150 other refugees. While Murabella deals with violent rebels from within, another more sinister enemy... secretly in filtrates the Honored Matres... Herbert's ecological and religious concerns now seem oddly prescient, but this sizzling update, still filled with craz ed women who sexually enslave men, sometimes borders on campy 1950s B-movie parody.

Herbert, Brian Sandworms of Dune
Tor Science Fiction July 1, 2008 0-7653-5149-8 / 9780765351494 Paperback Good
By the time of this second volume of the third Dune prequel trilogy, battle s and plagues have nearly destroyed humans and their planets. Sheanna reviv es the ghola cloning project to pit genius against numbers. Almost all the saga principals have been re-created-Paul, Jessica, Letos I and II, Chani, Stilgar, even Wellington Yueh and Baron Harkonnen-and are hiding on the no- ship. The eleventh ghola of Duncan Idaho keeps an eye on things. Naturally, such a crew generates intrigue, dissension, and many actions unintentional ly at cross-purposes. Some of the re-creations learn from the past, some do n't. Meanwhile, Omnius and Erasmus, leaders of the thinking machines, searc h for the no-ship; failing to find it, they finish the destruction of any p lanet capable of supporting human life. When the clones and the thinking ma chines finally confront each other, the conflict proves pretty gripping. It s plot derived from Frank Herbert's notes, Sandworms should fascinate Dune fans.

Herbert, Brian The Butlerian Jihad (Legends of Dune)
Hodder & Stoughton Ltd 5 Sep 2002 0-340-82331-3 / 9780340823316 Paperback Near Fine
A tight clean copy, no markings throughout. Softcover weight 800g. The Butlerian Jihad opens a new series of Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderso n's prequels to the classic Dune by Frank Herbert (Brian's father). Set mor e than 10,000 years before Dune, this covers the evil times when machine in telligence ruled the Old Empire of human worlds. The implacably efficient " Omnius" AI must be overthrown. Many familiar names appear; Salusa Secundus now green and fertile, but fate d to become a hellhole prison planet, is one of the free human enclaves on the fringes of Omnius's "Synchronized Worlds". So is Giedi Prime, later the evil Harkonnen HQ. Both are attacked by fearsome robot fleets and ex-human cyborg killers when Omnius makes a new expansionist push. Much space-opera tic mayhem follows. Major characters include Serena Butler, who will become the driving force of the jihad against computer dictatorship; her lover Xavier Harkonnen, heroic defender of Salusa Secundus; Vorian Atreides, son of Omnius's chief cyborg Agamemnon, convinced by slanted histories that the Synchronized Worlds are the good guys; Erasmus, an independent robot who plays devil's advocate to Omnius and conducts unspeakably gory experiments to determine the wayward nature of humanity; and Selim, a desert exile on planet Arrakis (Dune), who becomes the first man to master the dread sandworms.

Herbert, Brian The Machine Crusade
New English Library Ltd March 1, 2004 0-340-82335-6 / 9780340823354 Paperback Near Fine
SF space opera titans Herbert and Anderson continue to investigate the tant alizing origins of Frank Herbert's Dune universe, this time achieving mixed results in their fifth action-packed collaboration, the bloated but occasi onally brilliant second installment of the trilogy that started with Dune: The Butlerian Jihad (2002).Twenty-four years have passed since the independ ent Thinking Machine, Erasmus, killed Serena Butler's son and began a blood y Holy War against Omnius, a computer "evermind." Leading the League's Army of the Jihad are Primeros Xavier Harkonnen and Vorian Atreides, the son of cymek (human brain/robotic body) General Agamemnon, who, along with his fe llow "semi-immortals," shares the computer evermind's wish to eradicate all unnecessary humans but secretly also wants to destroy Omnius. Harkonnen an d Atreides loyally report to their Priestess leader, unknowingly the politi cal puppet of Grand Patriarch Iblis Ginjo, a former Earth slave-master. Unf ortunately, the short spacehopping chapters neglect some characterizations and more intriguing story lines, such as the Arrakis conflicts swirling aro und Selim Wormrider's growing outlaw band and the relationship of Erasmus w ith his human "son," in favor of too long battle segments and extraneous de tails about the emotionally remote Ginaz mercenary, Jool Noret. Despite the flaws, Dune fans will still enjoy the sweeping philosophical power that su rfaces, invoking the senior Herbert's remarkable vision. C

Herbert, Brian The Machine Crusade
Tor Books July 29, 2004 0-7653-4078-X / 9780765340788 Paperback Good
Years have passed since the Jihad against the overmind Omnius and the think ing machines blazed up in the instant that the robot Erasmus hurled an inno cent toddler to his death. The child's mother, Serena Butler, is still the spiritual leader of the Jihadi, and the former slave foreman Iblis Ginjo is their political and military organizer. Vor Atreides and Xavier Harkonnen lead the fleet, Vor with a common touch and the good looks preserved by lif e-extending treatment, and Xavier with sheer determination and courage. But the decades-long war has cost countless lives and sapped the people's reso lve. When Omnius makes a startling offer of peace, Serena knows it is a ter rible mistake to compromise with machine intelligence but can't naysay her exhausted followers. In a desperate move to save the Jihad and the millions of enslaved humans on machine-dominated worlds, Serena goes as the sole am bassador of peace to Omnius' stronghold on the planet Corrin. Meanwhile, an isolated physicist is discovering how to fold space, Selim of Arrakis is b uilding a tribe and a legend, and Iblis is making a demonic deal with the f lesh merchants of Tleilax to provide organ replacements for the Jihadi army . Organizing a dozen plotlines takes time, so sit back and enjoy the nearly 700-page ride.
