Paul of Dune - Softcover

'[Herbert and Anderson] do a great job in investing the plot with heft and complexity and the narrative with pace and momentum, and conveying the sheer ferocity of the betrayals and duplicities ... a rare, rattling page-turner that no Dune adherent will pass up.' -- Kirkus Reviews on SANDWORMS OF DUNE 20070615 'Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision.' -- Dean Koontz 20070615 'Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied' -- The Times 20070615 A triumphant climax to the history of the Dune universe. -- Bookseller on THE BATTLE OF CORRIN 20070615 'For those of us who grew up with the world of spice and sand - how gratifying to revisit characters who felt like old friends, now brought to a satisfying conclusion.' -- My Weekly 20070615

Here at last is the missing history of Dune, its empire and its ruling family during those twelve action-packed years. It is a story of love and idealism; of ambition and intrigue; of war and reconciliation. Above all, it is the story of how Paul Atreides - a young man who achieved absolute power over a thousand planets when scarcely more than a boy - comes to renounce that empire and seek a new way forward for the people he rules.
