About the book
Heretics of Dune, the fifth novel in Frank Herbert's Dune saga, returns to a universe transformed by the death of the God Emperor Leto II. More than fifteen centuries later, people scattered across the cosmos are returning with new ambitions and dangerous powers. The Bene Gesserit struggle to secure their future as the Honored Matres threaten the old order, while a young girl named Sheeana displays an extraordinary connection with the sandworms of Rakis. A new Duncan Idaho ghola becomes central to competing designs for humanity's survival. Combining interstellar intrigue with questions of religion, sexuality, genetic memory and political control, Herbert extends his exploration of power and the unpredictable consequences of trying to direct human evolution.
