With their usual skill, Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have taken ideas left behind by Frank Herbert and filled them with living characters and a true sense of wonder. Where Paul of Dune picked up the saga directly after the events of Dune,The Windsof Dune begins after the events of Dune Messiah.
Paul has walked off into the sand, blind, and is presumed dead. Jessica and Gurney are on Caladan; Alia is trying to hold the Imperial government together with Duncan; Mohiam dead at the hands of Stilgar; Irulan imprisoned. Pauls former friend, Bronso of Ix, now seems to be leading opposition to the House of Atreides. Herbert and Andersons newest book in this landmark series will concentrate on these characters as well the growing battle between Jessica, and her daughter, Alia.
Set immediately after Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah (1969), this satisfying tale from Herbert's son and Anderson (Paul of Dune) follows Jessica, the mother of galactic emperor Paul Atreides, as she returns to the desert planet Dune for her son's funeral. Paul's suicide after his mistress's childbed death leaves his sister, the insane and brutal Alia, as regent for his twin children. Alia releases Princess Irulan, Paul's wife and biographer, from house arrest on the condition that she present Paul as a god, even as Bronso of Ix circulates contrasting writings focusing on Paul's humanity. Alia, Jessica, Bronso and Irulan can describe aspects of Paul, but no single narrative can capture him. Fans of the original Dune series will love seeing familiar characters, and the narrative voice smoothly evokes the elder Herbert's style. (Aug.)

Praise for The Winds of Dune:
Fill[s] in the gaps between the late Frank Herbert's classic Dune and its sequels Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. . . . This sequel to Paul of Dune is an important addition to the Dune chronology and will be in demand by Herbert fans.
--Library Journal (starred review)
"Delivers solid action and will certainly satisfy."
--Booklist
This satisfying tale from Herberts son and Andersonfollows Jessica, the mother of galactic emperor Paul Atreides. . . . Fans of the original Dune series will love seeing familiar characters, and the narrative voice smoothly evokes the elder Herberts style.
--Publishers Weekly
"Unquestionably, Herbert & Anderson can spin a great yarn; while technically producing a vivid, mystifying universe, filled with characters that are both endearing, and loathsome. I recommend this one highly, but be warned, if this is the first Dune book you are reading, get ready to hit the bookstore, because I promise you, it will not be the last!"
*--BookSpotCentral
"The Winds of Dune is filled with the same psychological complexities that were a hallmark of Frank Herberts books. It twists and turns on matters of trust, loyalty and the meaning of honor. Familiar characters are brought back to life with poignant clarity and the suspense and tension never let up. Even knowing what comes next in Children of Dune, I was hooked by this tale and enjoyed it immensely. It is a worthy addition to the Dune saga."--IN Denver Times
*Praise for the bestselling novel,*Paul of Dune:
This vital link between the first two books of the Dune saga begins immediately after the close of Dune. . . . *This is good reading. . . .Standing well enough on its own for Dune novices, it goes without saying that its must reading for established fans.
--*Booklist
Drawing on Frank Herberts massive body of notes, the coauthors of the new Dune series continue their expansion and illumination of the unexplored pieces of one of the genres most significant and powerful stories. A priority purchase for libraries of all sizes. Highly recommended.--Library Journal* (starred review)
Praise for Dune, the timeless classic that began the epic story:
One of the monuments of modern science fiction.
--The Chicago Tribune*
I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings*.
--Sir Arthur C. Clarke*
*A portrayal of an alien society more complete and deeply detailed than any other author in the field has managed . . . a story absorbing equally for its action and philosophical vistas. . . . An astonishing science fiction phenomenon.
--*The Washington Post
Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious.
--Robert A. Heinlein
*Herberts creation of this universe, with its intricate development and analysis of ecology, religion, politics, and philosophy, remains one of the supreme and seminal achievements in science fiction.
