Book Three in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles—the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time
The Children of Dune are twin siblings Leto and Ghanima Atreides, whose father, the Emperor Paul Muad’Dib, disappeared in the desert wastelands of Arrakis nine years ago. Like their father, the twins possess supernormal abilities—making them valuable to their manipulative aunt Alia, who rules the Empire in the name of House Atreides.
Facing treason and rebellion on two fronts, Alia’s rule is not absolute. The displaced House Corrino is plotting to regain the throne while the fanatical Fremen are being provoked into open revolt by the enigmatic figure known only as The Preacher. Alia believes that by obtaining the secrets of the twins’ prophetic visions, she can maintain control over her dynasty.
But Leto and Ghanima have their own plans for their visions—and their destinies....
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The universe is on the brink of chaos in Children of Dune, the pivotal third instalment of Frank Herbert’s epic science fiction series. Years after the disappearance of Paul Atreides, his young twins, Leto and Ghanima, rule an increasingly unstable empire. Born with all the wisdom of their ancestors, the siblings must decide the fate of their universe and accept the terrible responsibility that comes with that choice. With its themes of ecology and religion, this book is both a satisfying conclusion to Paul’s story and the starting point for the next adventure in Herbert’s epic series.
