Heretics of Dune: Frank Herbert
Posted by Mark on April 21st, 2006
Several thousand years after the events in God Emperor of Dune, the golden path is quietly running it’s course. Humanity exploded into the universe during the “scattering”, dependents of Siona carry the genetic mutation making them immune to prescience, and the old power bases (bene gesserit, tleilaxu, and the Ixians) are re-emerging. However there is trouble as many of those who went into the “scattering” are returning, either coming to conquer the “old empire” or perhaps fleeing from something horrible.
Once again we see Idaho resurrected (he is in every dune book, get used to him) only this time he becomes a major player. A showdown is looming between the Bene Gesserit and the Honored Matres (warped dependents of the Bene Gesserit who fled into the scattering thousands of years ago) and Idaho might just hold the key to defeating them.
