Heretics of Dune (Dune #5) by Frank Herbert

Product Details

About the Book

1,500 years have passed since Leto II's reign ended, and humanity is set firmly on the Golden Path he forged through millennia of tyranny. By crushing human aspirations for thirty-five hundred years, Leto caused the Scattering — a massive exodus of humanity into the unknown universe upon his death — and now some of those who scattered are returning to the Old Imperium, bent on conquest. On Arrakis, now called Rakis, the great sandworms are dying and the planet is becoming desert again, while the Bene Gesserit and the Bene Tleilax struggle to direct the future of Dune.

The universe once ruled by Houses Corrino and Atreides has fallen into chaos, controlled by dozens of bickering factions, as the Bene Gesserit and Tleilaxu struggle for power against billions of humans returning from the Scattering. On the surface of Rakis, a small girl named Sheeana may hold the power to break the balance entirely: she can control the mighty sandworms themselves, and her connection to the legacy of Paul Muad'Dib could reshape the fate of the galaxy.
