The epic that began with the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic Dune- now a major motion picture from the director of Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival - continues...
The long-established galactic order is passing. The Honoured Matres,ruthless and all-conquering,have destroyed the planet Dune. In opposition,hard-pressed but still fighting back,the Bene Gesserit sisterhood co-ordinate their resistance from their as-yet undiscovered home world,Chapter House.
Now as a new Scattering is planned,they still have one carefully nurtured asset: the sandworms,offspring of the only giant worm salvaged from Dune.
Chapter House is to about to turn into a barren wasteland: Chapter House will be the new Dune.
Read the series which inspired the 2021 Denis Villeneuve epic film adaptation,Dune,starring Oscar Isaac,Timothee Chalamet,Zendaya and Josh Brolin.
