Tedious at times. However it ended well.

A must read after the rest of the series, but it just doesn't compare to Frank Herbert's works.

The culmination of the most complex, intellectually stimulating scfi series ever written, is as was the story itself, grandiose and full of itself. But for good reason, clearly it is the product of 3 of scfi's most gifted minds. Epic is a word inadequate to describe it's scale, simply magnificent and engaging from end to end the entire series makes sense and we readers are rewarded with perfect closure. Do yourself a favor and read the entire prequel to original sequence to sequels in one back to back exercise, the richness of detail and the continuity makes this work the grandest of all scifi, a tantalizingly original a masterwork of 2 generations. Enjoy the best scifi has to offer...I'm off to brew some spice coffee and to check the blue within blue of my eyes.

Wow. Since I first read Dune about 15 years ago I eagerly devoured anything I could find by Frank Herbert, and his son certainly possesses his writing talent. Anything by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson automatically make it into my vast collection on books. This book was the perfect culmination to the greatest scifi series of all time. I was not dissapointed. It was the genius of Frank Herbert that first encouraged me to explore my own creativity, and the tradition continues. I can't wait for what's next.....

Not really how I think Frank would have tied it all together. Doesn't seem to fall in line with previous books.

I read this book in less than 24 hours. It is a great conclusion to his farther's work. Every fan of the series should buy this book.
