THE FANTASTIC SAGA OF
FRANK HERBERT'S DUNE CONTINUES
IN DUNE: THE MACHINE CRUSADE...


More than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in Dune: The Butlerian Jihad.  The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years; the human worlds have grown weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing from victory to defeat.

The feersome cymeks, led by Agamemnon, hatch new plots to regain their lost power from Omnius.  Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva are on the verge of the most important discovery in human history - a way to "fold" space and travel instantaneously to anyplace in the galaxy.

And on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider and his band ot outlaws take the first steps toward making themselves the feared fighters who will change the course of mankind: the Fremen.

"The kind of intricate plotting and philosophical musings that would make the elder Herbert proud." - Publishers Weekly on Dune: The Butlerian Jihad

Kevin J. Anderson's novels have been on national bestseller lists twenty-seven times.  His Star Wars - Jedi Academy trilogy were the three top-selling science fiction novels of 1994. 

Anderson signed the largest science fiction contract in publishing history, to write a prequel trilogy to Frank Herbert's classic SF novel Dune.  Co-written with Frank Herbert's son Brian.  Anderson has also written numerous bestselling comics, including Star Wars and Predator titles for Dark Horse and X-Files for Topps.

He is married to Rebecca Moesta.

Brian Herbert  
Birth: 29 Jun 1947 Seattle, Washington, USA
Notes:
Brian Herbert is the oldest son of noted science fiction author Frank Herbert who wrote the Dune series of books.  Brian has a younger brother Bruce and an older sister Penny.  Brian was an honor student and he graduated early from high school when he was 16.  He married young as well to his wife Jan.  He went to the University of California at Berkeley and received a BA in Sociology.  He has been married for over 30 years and they have three daughters, Julie, Kimberly and Margaux.

Brian did not begin writing until he was nearly 30 years old.  His first two books were Incredible Insurance Claims and Classic Comebacks.  He kept a journal which he used to write a biography of his father Frank Herbert entitled Dreamer of Dune.  Brian Herbert used the entire Dune series to write the Dune Concordence.  He used this as a reference book when writing the Prelude to Dune series with Kevin J Anderson.

  • 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.
