Praise for Chapterhouse: Dune“Compelling...a worthy addition to this durable and deservedly popular series.”—The New York Times“The vast and fascinating Dune saga sweeps on—as exciting and gripping as ever.”—Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Dune“I know nothing comparable to it except Lord of the Rings.”—Arthur C. Clarke “A portrayal of an alien society more complete and deeply detailed than any other author in the field has managed...a story absorbing equally for its action and philosophical vistas.”—The Washington Post Book World“One of the monuments of modern science fiction.”—Chicago Tribune“Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious.”—Robert A. Heinlein “Herbert’s creation of this universe, with its intricate development and analysis of ecology, religion, politics and philosophy, remains one of the supreme and seminal achievements in science fiction.”—Louisville Times Frank Herbert is the bestselling author of the Dune saga. He was born in Tacoma, Washington, and educated at the University of Washington, Seattle. He worked a wide variety of jobs—including TV cameraman, radio commentator, oyster diver, jungle survival instructor, lay analyst, creative writing teacher, reporter and editor of several West Coast newspapers—before becoming a full-time writer.In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with “Looking for Something?” in Startling Stories. But his emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of Dune. Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune followed, completing the saga that the Chicago Tribune would call “one of the monuments of modern science fiction.” Herbert is also the author of some twenty other books, including The White Plague, The Dosadi Experiment, and Destination: Void. He died in 1986.
The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. The remnants of the Old Empire have been consumed by the violent matriarchal cult known as the Honored Matres. Only one faction remains a viable threat to their total conquest—the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune’s power.
Under the leadership of Mother Superior Darwi Odrade, the Bene Gesserit have colonized a green world on the planet Chapterhouse and are turning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile. And once they’ve mastered breeding sandworms, the Sisterhood will control the production of the greatest commodity in the known galaxy—the spice melange. But their true weapon remains a man who has lived countless lifetimes—a man who served under the God Emperor Paul Muad’Dib....
Dune to Rakis The story telling is, without saying, mesmerizing. I read them all for the third time on Kindle and it was even better than before. I read it in the past and much was lost on me. I read it now and, I must say, Herbert is 100% correct. The present affects your past. When I read it again in the future under a lamp of unknown and unguessed qualities how will I interpret his words then? You get out of this final chapter what you have to put into it.Spoiler Alert!!!This time around and, after reading his son's collaborations, I especially enjoyed the dropped hints that Holtzman was not the originator of the Holtzman equations. In the text itself he demonstrates that the written word of history cannot be relied upon. Brilliant.The second thing I noticed is the prediction of the Cycle of Government. Rebels, Entrenched power, Bureaucracy, Aristocracy, and finally: Oppression to maintain the status quo. It is interesting that this seems to be happening now. Or already has happened (again). Interesting Times.While this work it much more "cerebral" than Heretics, It winds up the Old Empire, the Golden Path, and the players of the finite game.All the crazy Atredies Heretics with their wild Siona genes going freaking wild in a infinite Universe. Unleashed. Finally.Sort of leaves you wanting more.Story or college lecture? After now having read the 1st 6 books, I found this to be my least favorite, which is not to say it wasn't good. As with much of Herbert's writing, there are times when I question if I'm reading a story or attending a college lecture. While I liked how it ended, it seemed to take SO much time getting there!A brilliant end that reminds us of the beginning To this reader, Chapterhouse: Dune, is as essential as the the first book itself. By this time in the series we readers are demanding answers to some of the most intriguing mysteries ever woven into the fabric of space of time within a science fiction universe. And this book absolutely delivers those answers with astonishing impact. Through a writing style that itself is fluid and seamless the reader materializes firmly in the mesmerizing Dune universe. The wrap up to the series, Chapterhouse does something few series ever achieve: it ends things brilliantly.
