THE FANTASTIC SAGA OF
FRANK HERBERT'S DUNE CONTINUES
IN DUNE: THE MACHINE CRUSADE...
More than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in Dune: The Butlerian Jihad. The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years; the human worlds have grown weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing from victory to defeat.
The feersome cymeks, led by Agamemnon, hatch new plots to regain their lost power from Omnius. Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva are on the verge of the most important discovery in human history - a way to "fold" space and travel instantaneously to anyplace in the galaxy.
And on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider and his band ot outlaws take the first steps toward making themselves the feared fighters who will change the course of mankind: the Fremen.
"The kind of intricate plotting and philosophical musings that would make the elder Herbert proud." - Publishers Weekly on Dune: The Butlerian Jihad
