Description
Arrakis is gone — and the master’s final act begins. Chapterhouse: Dune (1985), the sixth and last Dune novel Frank Herbert himself wrote, opens with the desert planet destroyed and the scattered survivors of the Old Empire at the mercy of the brutal Honored Matres. Retreating to the secret world of Chapterhouse, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood prepares its last gamble for survival.
Mother Superior Darwi Odrade, the ghola Miles Teg, and the enigmatic Murbella each hold a piece of the puzzle — if they can survive the Matres’ onslaught and their own internal divisions long enough to play it. The sisterhood’s long game collides with a ruthless new enemy, and every move carries the weight of the saga’s accumulated history.
Denser, more philosophical, and more daring than the books that came before it, Chapterhouse takes Herbert’s universe to the brink and leaves readers with one of science fiction’s most tantalizing endings. Read it last among Herbert’s six — this is where the master’s own story concludes, and where one of the greatest science fiction epics ever written reaches its breathtaking finale.
