Hunters of Dune is the 7th in the Dune series (not counting the
6 prequels).
A book a couple of decades in the writing after the passing of
Frank Herbert. He passed on shortly after finishing the 6th book,
Chapterhouse: Dune.
The book picks off from where the 6th ended, a rag-tag lot of
people who steals a no-ship and escapes the Bene Gesserit home
planet of Chapterhouse just before the forced merger with the hated
Honored Matres.
As the group of people make their escape, battles for the control
of the Old Empire rage on while out there, unknown to many or
perhaps mentally blocked out by the vicious and cruel Honored
Matres, the Enemy awaits.
Not in the scale of the original author, his son has big shoes to
fill and attempts admirably from his father's notes of this
book.
Still, a good read for those who have followed the epic series. 3
1/2 out of 5.
The next instalment, Sandworms of Dune, will be released in August
2007.
