Description
Deluxe hardcover edition of Children of Dune, the third novel in Frank Herbert's magnificent science fiction saga. This edition features an iconic new cover, a stamped and foiled case, stained edges, and fully illustrated endpapers. The book includes a beautifully designed poster on the interior of the jacket and an introduction by Brian Herbert.
Set nine years after the disappearance of the Emperor Paul Muad'Dib, the story follows twin siblings Leto and Ghanima Atreides, who possess supernormal abilities. Their aunt Alia, who rules the Empire, seeks to maintain control by obtaining the secrets of their prophetic visions. However, the twins have their own plans for their visions and destinies.
As Alia navigates the treacherous landscape of power and rebellion, the displaced House Corrino plots to regain the throne, while the Fremen are provoked into open revolt by the enigmatic figure known as The Preacher. The fate of the twins and the future of the Empire hang in the balance.
