Description

A New York Times bestseller, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Navigators of Dune is the climactic finale of the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, set 10,000 years before Frank Herbert's classic Dune. The story line tells the origins of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and its breeding program, the human- computer Mentats, and the Navigators (the Spacing Guild), as well as a crucial battle for the future of the human race, in which reason faces off against fanaticism. These events have far-reaching consequences that will set the stage for Dune, millennia later. Read more

  • Another excellent prequel to the Dune saga
Like the Mentats of Dune and the Sisterhood of Dune novels, the Navigators of Dune novel cleaned up the last remaining loose ends after the Battle of Corrin. An excellent read.

  • A decent enough wrap up
I know the Brian Herbert books have drawn a lot of heat from the purists out there, and to be honest I understand where they're coming from. However I did my best to view them as they are; supplements meant to further flesh out a universe we've all grown to love. The problem with prequels; and why I've come to realize I intensely dislike them; is that you've already finished the story in your mind. You've already connected the dots and are just kinda going through the motions. You look and say "well that character isn't in the original. They've've got to die somehow. " I've found this hurts the story, and I've seen that happen a lot with the Star Wars movies. This story is no different. You know some things have to wrap up in some cases but not completely in others. As for the characters that were written off, I'd say it was satisfying enough. Manford's fate was...eh, if you can overlook the fact that you've read it before, you shouldn't be too disappointed. The clash between Venport and Roderick seemed to reach epic proportions of ludicrous. It's really hard to believe two people could have this many misunderstandings this many times, especially with a Truth sayer present. I found the resolution to be bizarre to say the least. It seemed they were both favorite characters the authors simply didn't want to part with. The feud between Vorian and Valya was especially tricky. The authors were tasked with putting a close on problem that would somehow have to last for the eight or so millenia? I knew that would be a stretch and their solution was about what I'd expected. Now for Erasmus. Sigh it's been quite a journey for me with this character. From the moment he stabbed that cook to death til now I've nursed a particular dislike for this character. I've hated him at sometimes and others, I've simply grit my teeth at him. I can't say I loathed him the way I did Manford, but he definitely stood out as the villian you'd have to endure. I wasn't particularly on board when they tried to bring out his "humanity" through Gilbertus but I went along with it as well as I could. Well they finally bring his character to a close, and I think it's a bit too soon to say how I feel about it. Did he deserve more? Did he deserve less? I'm not really sure. In terms of comparison his end reminded me more of Agamemnon's than Ajax. You'll have to decide for yourself. I know I would have been furious if they would have eked out another survival for him though. I know it sounds like I'm being critical but I'm just trying to be subjective. I love this universe and the characters in it. I don't think I'll ever be "done" with Dune. While I acknowledge Brian and Kevin made choices that Frank probably never would, I appreciate their attempts to keep these characters alive. I respect their right to tell their story their way. I for one know for a fact The Force Awakens would have been vastly different if Lucas had directed that one as well. If you're hyper critical of these novels, please try to keep that in mind. I would recommend this book. It completes the prequel series well enough. One shouldn't be disappointed too much. Thanks for reading and I'll see you out there! ... show more

  • Great read that actually relates to world and national politics today
I liked all 3 of the books in this trilogy. What I found quite odd is that I kept seeing the same kind of situations that exist in modern politics in these books. Fanatics that are motivated by emotions instead of reason for example. Politicians and others manipulating people out of fear, greed or a radical ideology that they firmly believe in. Maybe the characters in these books just reflect human nature that doesn't really change much over time? Anyway, even if you don't notice that in the books, if you love the Dune Universe you will love these books. So much background and great character development in the books. The good guys and the bad guys are not always who you think that they are when you first meet them. ... show more

  • The founding of the spacing guild comes about
Author's Brain Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson bring us the last book in the Schools of Dune Trilogy. Picking up after the events of Mentats of Dune, Venport has been held up at his companies main planet but the events of both his and Manfords war has caused the new Emperor to force the war to an end. Manford has used forbidden atmics on Venports main company planet. That has caused them to up their production of Cymeks to take on the Butlerian's for a second time though this time with the permission from the Emperor. As this is going on both House Atredies and House Harkonnen have taken their vendetta to Corrin where the end of the war with the machine Empire ended. Several things are happening all at once with the end of Emeris and Roddrick Corrino's sister Anna dying in each other's arms. The war ending in ways that I will not get into. This book is a great prequel to Dune and I'm looking forward to the next six prequel novels beginning with House Atredies. And you'll want to read how the first Navigator deals with the Corrino Emperor and creates the Spacing Guild. I highly recommend this book to all Dune and science fiction fans. ... show more

  • Rollicking and Suspenseful
If you're one of those people who regard the Herbert-Anderson books "McDune" skip this review. I am giving the novel five stars because I am comparing it with the other H-A books, and not with the original Frank Herbert work. "Navigators of Dune," which completes the Great Schools trilogy, picks up with Roderick Corrino succeeding his shallow, cowardly brother as Emperor; Valya Harkonen in firm control of the Sisterhood; and Manfred Torondo still leading the Butlerians. The plot -- only tangentially about the Navigators -- proceeds along a familiar Dune theme: rebalancing the forces in the universe. The writing really rollicks along, with short, punchy chapters building to a suspenseful, fast-moving finish. Two things puzzle me about this novel: (1) the secret -- beyond spice gas -- of making Navigators was alluded to but never revealed (at least I couldn't find it); and (2) the Erasmus plotline was resolved in a head-scratching way. (When you're in the last chapters you'll see what I mean). But, on the whole, "Navigators of Dune" is very satisfying. I hope Herbert-Anderson are planning another novel so I can read what happens next. That's how good this H-A Dune book is. ... show more

  • Repetitive
The Sisterhood/Mentats/Navigators of Dune triad (it isn't a trilogy) is essentially one long 2000 page book in 3 pieces. Although the overall story is decent it's insanely repetitive. Good editing could made this a single 800 page novel and leave out nothing. I can only assume the authors related everything so many times across the series to remind the reader what happened in the previous book(s) in case they'd forgotten. I, unfortunately, waited until I had all three to read them so the repetition became tiresome and annoying. ... show more
