The Winds of Dune
With their usual skill, Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have taken
ideas left behind by Frank Herbert and filled them with living
characters and a true sense of wonder. Where Paul of Dune picked up the saga directly after the events of Dune, The Winds of Dune begins after the events of Dune Messiah.
Paul
has walked off into the sand, blind, and is presumed dead. Jessica and
Gurney are on Caladan; Alia is trying to hold the Imperial government
together with Duncan; Mohiam dead at the hands of Stilgar; Irulan
imprisoned. Paul’s former friend, Bronso of Ix, now seems to be leading
opposition to the House of Atreides. Herbert and Anderson’s newest book
in this landmark series will concentrate on these characters as well
the growing battle between Jessica, and her daughter, Alia.
