Sisterhood of Dune [Hardcover] reviews:
- Exciting, fast-paced science fiction
Over eight decades ago, humanity defeated the tyrannical sentient cybernetics at the key Battle of Corrin. discussion rages over the employment of safe machines within the everyday lives of people.
First Reverend Mother of the Sisterhood Raquella Berto-Anirul opens the Bene Gesserit school on the rainforest planet of Rossak as an area to teach women to use technology to boost their lot. The Venport descendants deploy mutated Navigators to fly early versions of Heighliners. On the other aspect of the argument is the Butlerian opposition, led by Manford Torondo and Swordmaster Anari Idaho, against technology as being dangerous. Soon everyone will need to pick a aspect as somebody's civil war over machinery appears imminent.
This is an exciting, fast-paced but thin Dune science fiction thriller as 2 diametrically opposite visions of the long run surface even eighty plus years since the war against the machines. With what is happening in DC, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson offer a timely tale engineered on the premise that idealism without pragmatism can transform uncompromising tyranny.
Sisterhood of Dune [Hardcover] Description:
It is eighty-three years after the last of the thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of a new Imperium. Great changes are brewing that will shape and twist all of humankind.
The war hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on politics and Salusa Secundus. The descendants of Abulurd Harkonnen Griffen and Valya have sworn vengeance against Vor, blaming him for the downfall of their fortunes. Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Bene Gesserit School on the jungle planet Rossak as the first Reverend Mother. The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva have built Venport Holdings, using mutated, spice-saturated Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners. Gilbertus Albans, the ward of the hated Erasmus, is teaching humans to become Mentats…and hiding an unbelievable secret.
The Butlerian movement, rabidly opposed to all forms of “dangerous technology,” is led by Manford Torondo and his devoted Swordmaster, Anari Idaho. And it is this group, so many decades after the defeat of the thinking machines, which begins to sweep across the known universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its path.
Every one of these characters, and all of these groups, will become enmeshed in the contest between Reason and Faith. All of them will be forced to choose sides in the inevitable crusade that could destroy humankind forever….
