Sisterhood of Dune: Book One of the Schools of Dune Trilogy
The inspiration for the HBO original series DUNE: PROPHECY, coming Fall 2024!
It is 83 years after the last thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of a new Imperium.
The war hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on politics and Salusa Secundus. The descendants of the disgraced Abulurd Harkonnen have sworn vengeance against Vor, blaming him for the downfall of their noble family.
Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Bene Gesserit School and, through a terrible ordeal, has become the first Reverend Mother.
The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva use mutated, spice-saturated Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners.
And Gilbertus Albans, ward of the hated thinking machine Erasmus, is teaching humans to become Mentats...while hiding an unbelievable secret.
Led by the fanatic Manford Torondo, the Butlerian movement, fiercely opposed to all forms of "dangerous technology," sweeps across the known universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its path.

Praise for this book
"With their useful fidelity to the vision of the late Frank Herbert, coauthors Herbert (Frank's son) and Anderson (The Winds of Dune) continue to illuminate heretofore hidden areas of the Dune time line. Fully realized characters and intricate plotting will put this title high on fans' to-read list." --Library Journal Starred review
"Characters and plot are thus beautifully set up, the timing is precise....the universe conceived by Frank Herbert is so vast, complex and fascinating that the magic lingers." --Kirkus Reviews
"[A] fun blend of space opera and dynastic soap opera...The narrative is broken into short, jazzy chapters studded with familiar names like Atreides, Harkonnen, and Arrakis that will grab the attention of longtime Dune fans." --Publishers Weekly on Sisterhood of Dune
"Delivers solid action and will certainly satisfy." --Booklist on The Winds of Dune
"Fans of the original Dune series will love seeing familiar characters, and the narrative voice smoothly evokes the elder Herbert's style." --Publishers Weekly on The Winds of Dune
"This sequel to Paul of Dune is an important addition to the Dune chronology and will be in demand by Herbert fans." --Library Journal, starred review on The Winds of Dune
"Unquestionably, Herbert & Anderson can spin a great yarn; while technically producing a vivid, mystifying universe, filled with characters that are both endearing, and loathsome. I recommend this one highly, but be warned, if this is the first Dune book you are reading, get ready to hit the bookstore, because I promise you, it will not be the last!" --BookSpotCentral on The Winds of Dune
"Drawing on Frank Herbert's massive body of notes, the coauthors of the new Dune series continue their expansion and illumination of the unexplored pieces of one of the genre's most significant and powerful stories. A priority purchase for libraries of all sizes. Highly recommended." --Library Journal, starred review on Paul of Dune
"Dune addicts will happily devour Herbert and Anderson's spicy conclusion to their second prequel trilogy." --Publishers Weekly on Dune: The Battle of Corrin
