This review is from: Chapter House Dune (Paperback)

The Honoured Matres are taking over the galaxy, with the new Bene Gesserit leader, with the help of Sheeana the sandrider, are making a new Dune out of their stronghold planet. Murbella, the turned Honoured Matre, lover of Idaho, is training with the Bene Gesserit.

Plot and counterplot happen between the two competing female organisations, and Duncan Idaho, Miles Teg and a Tleilaxu are all important.

At the end, we realise the Honoured Matres have come back here in fear or an enemy out to get them, and several of the important characters are together in a spaceship.

I have had this and all the other dune books for many years I have read all of them so many times and each time I find something that I missed in this book you find that there is a sub plot about the scattering that you never thought about and it makes you wonder if Mr Herbert was going to write one more book about dune If you are a real fan this is a must book for your collection
