Hunters of Dune

The seventh book--and part one in the compelling conclusion--of Frank Herbert's Dune series, one of the grandest epics in the annals of imaginative literature. Selling millions of copies worldwide, the series is science fiction's answer to The Lord of the Rings, a brilliantly imaginative epic of high adventure, unforgettable characters, and immense scope. Hunters of Dune and the concluding volume, Sandworms of Dune, weave together the great story lines and beloved characters in Frank Herbert's classic Dune universe, ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to the original Dune series and beyond. Based on Frank Herbert's outline, international bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring the incredible Dune Chronicles to an explosive grand finale. At the end of Chapterhouse: Dune--Frank Herbert's final novel--a ship carrying the ghola of Duncan Idaho, Sheeana (a young woman who can control sandworms), and a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres, dark counterparts to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The nearly invincible Honored Matres have swarmed into the known universe--but they have been driven from their home by a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. To strengthen their forces, the fugitives aboard Duncan's no-ship use genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past--including Paul Muad'Dib and his beloved Chani, Lady Jessica, Stilgar, Thufir Hawat, and even Dr. Wellington Yueh. Together, these misfits must find the genius and resources to defeat the ferocious, unknown Enemy that intends to destroy the human race.
