Description

Book Three in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles—the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time The Children of Dune are twin siblings Leto and Ghanima Atreides, whose father, the Emperor Paul Muad’Dib, disappeared in the desert wastelands of Arrakis nine years ago. Like their father, the twins possess supernormal abilities—making them valuable to their manipulative aunt Alia, who rules the Empire in the name of House Atreides. Facing treason and rebellion on two fronts, Alia’s rule is not absolute. The displaced House Corrino is plotting to regain the throne while the fanatical Fremen are being provoked into open revolt by the enigmatic figure known only as The Preacher. Alia believes that by obtaining the secrets of the twins’ prophetic visions, she can maintain control over her dynasty. But Leto and Ghanima have their own plans for their visions—and their destinies.... Read more

    • The writing is so poetic and ethereal that it takes me to another world.
I think I just keep reading these books because they offer my mind an exercise. The writing is so poetic and ethereal that it takes me to another world. Frank Herbert's unique voice and one of a kind tone are hypnotizing. The whole experience is like grasping at a dream. Every step gets you closer and yet every step takes you farther away. Toward what? The Golden Path maybe? In this, the third in the epic Dune series, we follow the story of Paul Atreides' twin children Ghanima and Leto Jr. These are not average children. They were conscious inside the womb and have the memories of thousands of people including their mother, father, and grandmother. The key to this is a combination of genetic manipulation from thousands of years of breeding programs and a high dose of melange, the addictive substance that in the right circumstance can unlock the secrets of consciousness and time. Ghanima and Leto are the heirs to the Empire that their father left behind, possibly dead but maybe not. Before Ghanima and Leto can take the throne they have to contend with everyone thinking they are the age they look, as well as their aunt Alia who is the regent in control of the empire and doesn't want to give it up, as well as a growing plot from the Corrino Family who was displaced by Paul Atreides when he took over Arrakis in the first book. To make matters worse the Preacher is running around sowing doubt about the moral authority of Alia and the path that the government is taking the people down. As the fight for the Empire rages on a new threat emerges from the sand. A threat that is destroying the infrastructure that has brought water to the desert planet and is creating a new mythology. Is it a god or just another passing contender? If you like epic sci-fi worlds with fantasy elements and can handle diving into a world with its culture and language then I recommend reading the Dune books. Obviously, you have to start with the first one but once you get into this epic story it does not disappoint. It continues to intrigue and mystify. The series is like the additive melange. While it might be confusing at times its allure is undeniable. ... show more

    • Transcendent, Poignant, and Hopeful
Frank Herbert wrote parts of Children of Dune and Dune Messiah before he’d even finished Dune, he says, in the afterword (the tail end of the e-book). Children of Dune vests the trilogy, pays off the conflicts and themes he wove into one of the best works of literature in the canon, one that ought be taught in schools as much for his attention to the detail of ecology as for his lean grasp of politics and economics. This book was written by someone who really “got it”, whatever that might mean to you. Herbert deftly spins the threads that make up this grand tapestry, through innovative world-building, expert use of language (especially Arabic and the structures of messianic Abrahamic theology), and by giving us characters that are as much magic prophets with superpowers as they are people in extraordinary situations making the best decisions they can with what they have. A particularly exquisite touch is the paragraphs seemingly written by the main characters long after the story concludes about the events of that chapter. For me, this goes down as one of my favorite books. The issues Frank Herbert identifies - a people trapped in a feudal serfdom, superstition precluding understanding, climate change, the machinations of the political class, and the dependence of an economy, planetary or galactic, on a rare commodity. On that last point, Herbert wrote that he meant for water on Arrakis, and spice galactically, to be a stand-in for oil. The wars and schemes over this most precious commodity, with great powers fearful of changes in its price and instability in its supply, with Machiavellian treachery behind the scenes, should result for us, the people of 2020. To stray back to Dune Messiah, I should hope the so-called populist swept to power to clean up a stagnant ruling class should resonate as well, for all of us. Nonetheless, this book remains vital, and inspiring, a work about people who realize where the greatest food is, what they’ll have to sacrifice to make the world a better place for everyone, and a meditation on the importance of long-term planning in doing so. ... show more

    • A Compelling and Thought-Provoking Installment!
Children of Dune is the third installment in Frank Herbert’s acclaimed Dune series, continuing the story that began with Dune and Dune Messiah. It picks up a generation after the previous book’s events, focusing on twins Leto and Ghanima Atreides, who assume leadership of the planet Arrakis following their parents’ deaths. In many ways, Children of Dune is a coming-of-age story as the twins grapple with the burdens and powers bestowed upon them. - Leto possesses precognitive abilities that allow him to glimpse possible futures. - Ghanima can read the genetic memories of their ancestors. Both struggle with the godlike reverence they are shown by the Fremen people of Dune and the oppressive Golden Path laid out by their prescient visions. As in the prior books, Herbert richly imagines the indigenous Fremen culture and spans vast epochs of time. - Politics, religion, ecology, and humanity’s relationship with technology are profoundly explored. - The interplay between free will and destiny makes for fascinating philosophical contemplation. - Meanwhile, the scope and complexity continue to thrillingly build Herbert’s meticulously engineered Dune universe. Overall, Children of Dune is a compelling and thought-provoking installment that deepened my understanding of Herbert’s Dune masterwork and left me eagerly anticipating the story’s climax. ... show more
