The sixth novel in the multi-award-winning Dune series -- the most famous, widely acclaimed and popular of all science fiction novels, named one of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, which inspired the jaw-dropping cinematic adaptations Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two.
What The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, Dune is to science fiction. Presenting Chapter House Dune, the sixth book in one of the most influential series of all time, which has inspired countless other stories for more than half a century, this is an awe-inspiring world, and a story of truly epic scope.
The long-established galactic order is passing. The Honoured Matres, ruthless and all-conquering, have destroyed the planet Dune. In opposition, hard-pressed but still fighting back, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood co-ordinate their resistance from their as-yet undiscovered home world, Chapter House.
Now as a new Scattering is planned, they still have one carefully nurtured asset: the sandworms, offspring of the only giant worm salvaged from Dune.
Chapter House is to about to turn into a barren wasteland: Chapter House will be the new Dune.
Read the series which inspired the Academy Award-winning and jaw-dropping cinematic events Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024). A science fiction spectacular like no other, this is a deeply climate conscious novel, and a compelling family saga for the ages.
