Legends of Dune: The Battle of Corrin

Without even reading a single letter, it is obvious that the final book of the Legends of Dune trilogy ought to set things roughly as we know them from the original Dune universe.

Good Reading – Legends of Dune: The Machine Crusade

Legends of Dune have three pieces and we are about to take a look at the second part. Machines and humans wage war against each other, no side has the upper hand – yet. Galaxy is torn apart, lives are lost on a daily basis, but time still flies by. The Machine Crusade takes us deep into the conflict and continues the magnificent story that predates the original Dune. You will better understand the nature of Harkonnen, how did the very origins of Bene Gesserit looked like and you will also find out that Dune is pretty much resistant to time and looked the same thousands of years ago.
