Reviews
"Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision." —Dean Koontz
"Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied." —The Times
"Herbert and Anderson have met the challenge admirably. Within a web of relationships in which no act has simple of predictable consequences, they lay the foundation of the Dune saga ... A terrific read in its own right ... Will inspire readers to turn, or return, to its great predecessor." —Publishers Weekly
