We can never overstate the appreciation we owe to the genius who created this incredible series.  Once again, this book is for Frank Herbert, a man of wonderous and important ideas, who has been our mentor as we continue to write new stories in his fantastic Dune universe.  Sandworms of Dune is the chronological grand finale that he envisioned, and we are pleased to finally bring it to his millions of loyal fans.
Aboard the wandering no-ship Ithaca, Jessica witnessed the birth of her daughter, but only as an observer.

Not as satisfying a conclusion as I'd hoped.  Still good though.

At the end of Frank Herbert's final novel, Chapterhouse: Dune, a ship carrying a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. The fugitives used genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past - including Paul Muad'Dib and Lady Jessica - to use their special talents to meet the incredible challenges of the journey.

Failure is unthinkable.  Not only is their survival at stake , but they hold the entire fate of the human race in their hands....

Sandworms of Dune is based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in two safe-deposit boxes for a decade.  Hunters of Dune told the first half of the story.  Now Sandworms of Dune brings the tale to its thrilling conclusion - and will finally answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades.

"Sit back and enjoy."

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
