What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied’

[Herbert and Anderson] do a great job in investing the plot with heft and complexity and the narrative with pace and momentum, and conveying the sheer ferocity of the betrayals and duplicities … a rare, rattling page-turner that no Dune adherent will pass up. - Kirkus Reviews on SANDWORMS OF DUNE

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

A triumphant climax to the history of the Dune universe. - Bookseller on THE BATTLE OF CORRIN

For those of us who grew up with the world of spice and sand - how gratifying to revisit characters who felt like old friends, now brought to a satisfying conclusion. - My Weekly on SANDWORMS OF DUNE
