The long-established galactic order is passing. The Honoured Matres, ruthless and all-conquering, have destroyed the planet Dune. In opposition, hard-pressed but still fighting back, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood co-ordinate their resistance from their as-yet undiscovered home world, Chapter House. Now as a new Scattering is planned, they still have one carefully nurtured asset: the sandworms, offspring of the only giant worm salvaged from Dune. Chapter House is to about to turn into a barren wasteland: Chapter House will be the new Dune.

Super Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars
great book,
This review is from: Chapter House Dune (Paperback)
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
