I read this just after The Machine Crusade - a book that took almost two months to read - due to a renewed fascination with anime...

"Dune addicts will hapily devour Herbert and Anderson's spicy conclusion to their second prequel trilogy." - Publisher's Weekly on Dune: The Battle of Corrin.

It has been fifty-six hard years since the events of The Machine Crusade. Following the Death of Serena Butler, Synchronized Worlds and Unallied Planets are liberated one by one, and at long last, the human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict is finally in sight.

Unfortunately, Omnius has one last, deadly card to play. Virulent plagues are let loose throughout the galaxy, decimating the populations of whole planets... and once again, the tide of the titanic struggle shifts against the human race. At last, the war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin.

In the greatest battle in science fiction hostory, human and machine face off one last time.... And on the desert planet of Arrakis, the legendary Fremen become the feared fighting force to be discovered by Paul Muad'Dib in Frank Herbert's classic Dune.

"Sit back and enjoy."

He used this as a reference book when writing the Prelude to Dune series with Kevin J Anderson.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
