Dune the Battle of Corrin

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The universal computer mind Omnius has retreated to its last stronghold, where it plots a devastating new strategy that could undo the victories of the Butlerian Jihad. The surviving Titans are creating new lieutenants to do their will when at last they return to attack the human beings they once ruled.


In the years of peace too many of mankind have forgotten that their machine enemies never sleep.


But some have forgotten nothing - and learned from their triumphs. The brilliant military commander Vorian Atreides, son of a Titan, has the gift of long life from his terrifying father and knows the machines' minds better than any man alive. Norma Cenva, the genius inventor of humanity's best defences, dreams of new discoveries that will make man invincible.


And on the windswept desert planet Arrakis, the power that can give them victory waits.


The authors of Prelude to Dune have written the triumphant climax to the history of the Dune universe: the story most eagerly anticipated by its readers.

Library Journal Review

It's 56 years later in this sequel to Dune: The Machine Crusade, and humanity has begun to push back the widespread control of the thinking machines. The once mighty Titans have been destroyed save for Juno and Agamemnon. The evermind Omnius makes a last-ditch effort to conquer the humans by developing a plague that attacks with devastating suddenness and deadly results. Relentlessly, the struggle rages across the universe until the concluding battle at the machines' final stronghold at the planet of Corrin, where Vorian Atreides, Supreme Bashar of the Army of Humanity, must make a heartrending decision that will cost him dearly. Scott Brick is an excellent reader; even his robots have personality and individuality. Any library holding the other Dune titles should consider this a required purchase for its sf collection.-Nancy Reed, McCracken Cty. P.L., Paducah, KY (c) Copyright 2010.
