Book description
The sand-blasted world of Arrakis has become green, watered and
fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the desert Fremen to political and
religious domination of the galaxy, is gone. But for the children of
Dune, the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own
destruction. The altered climate is destroying the giant sandworms, and
this in turn is disastrous for the planet's economy. Leto and Ghanima,
Paul Atreides's twin children and his heirs, can see possible solutions
- but fanatics begin to challenge the rule of the all-powerful Atreides
empire, and more than economic disaster threatens . . .
