Our view

“Chapterhouse: Dune” is the last of Herbert’s six Dune novels and a book for readers already committed to the saga. Its universe feels larger than ever, and some find that each chapter leaves a hook; others are worn down by long conversations and philosophising. The story stops on a cliffhanger, with no further volume from Herbert to follow it.
