A beautiful new hardcover package for the exciting and gripping (Kirkus Reviews) New York Times bestselling science fiction classic. The desert planet Arrakis called Dune has been destroyed. The remnants of the Old Empire have been consumed by the violent matriarchal cult known as the Honored Matres. Only one faction remains a viable threat to their total conquest-the Bene Gesserit heirs to Dunes power. Under the leadership of Mother Superior Darwi Odrade the Bene Gesserit have colonized a green world on the planet Chapterhouse and are turning it into a desert mile by scorched mile. And once theyve mastered breeding sandworms the Sisterhood will control the production of the greatest commodity in the known galaxy-the spice Melange. But their true weapon remains a man who has lived countless lifetimes-a man who served under the God Emperor Paul MuadDib.
