Heretics of Dune, the fifth installment in Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi series.

On Arrakis, now called Rakis, known to legend as Dune, 10 times 10 centuries have passed. The planet is becoming desert again. The Lost Ones are returning home from the far reaches of space. The great sandworms are dying, and the Bene Gesserit and the Bene Tleilax struggle to direct the future of Dune. The children of Dune's children awaken as from a dream, wielding the new power of a heresy called love.

Featured Article: The Most Stellar Sci-Fi Authors of All Time


Science fiction is a genre as diverse as you can imagine. There are stories that take place in deep space, often depicting teams exploring or running away from something; stories that focus on life at the most cellular level, such as a pandemic tale; and stories that take place in times that feel similar to our own. Depicting themes of existentialism, philosophy, hubris, and personal and historical trauma, sci-fi has a cadre of topics and moods.

This dune book has some really good character setup, and it seems to be preparing for some cool stuff in later books. the later part of the book got really cool, but was marred with cringy sex content. not sure what the author is getting at here, but that could have been left out.

Okay dune book

I enjoyed this one for the really interesting characters and story that it brought felt more like it was going back to the original two Dune books as far as style and things which I enjoyed the weird sexual stuff he put in there though could have been left out it was unnecessary the ending as with most big epics felt a little weird and disjointed didn't seem to explain too much but all in all for a journey it was fun.

The last part of the book went so quickly it almost lost me. I’ll have to have another look at it to understand.

Killed it again. I've into this three times straight, and find something new each time. The narration is out of this world. The whole series, classic.

Damn

I found the whole story fascinating and riveting. The Narrator kept me engrossed in the story.

A master storyteller continues his Dune saga

Narration was superb! And the story was gripping. It was a little slow in some places, and rushed in others but overall, I really enjoyed this one.

Best one yet!
