Critics Review
Unique among SF novels … I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings. - Arthur C. Clarke
An epic of political betrayal, ecological brinkmanship, and messianic deliverance… a universe of Machiavellian realpolitik, science fiction through the prism of the Cold War. There is little that is cute or cuddly: no furry-footed Hobbits, no teddy-bear-like Ewoks… This is terrain that is familiar to readers of George R. R.

It breathes, it speaks, and Herbert has smelt it in his nostrils.About The Author
