Our view
“Dune: The Battle of Corrin” closes the “Legends of Dune” prequel trilogy with the last stage of humanity’s crusade against the thinking machines. Some readers value how it ties up the threads of the first two volumes and sets up the factions known from Frank Herbert’s “Dune”; others find it weaker in style, with plot holes and easy shortcuts. It is mainly for readers keen to learn the deep backstory of “Dune”.
