Another great installment of Dune. This one is years removed from the first 4...meant to take place many years after the scattering. Duncan Idaho is still a ghola, but with some "differences" that come to light toward the end of the book. The reverend mother superior Bene Gesserit Taraza has plans for the worms and has a few "power struggles," if you will with, the Reverend Mother Odrade. Perhaps the most interesting character in this book is Miles Tegs, the Bashar (military guy) who is tasked with training and protecting the latest Duncan Idaho ghola.



Still isn't my favorite Dune book (I loved God Emperor the best)...but it is good, nonetheless. The "Honored Matres" are a good evil addition to this one as well.
