Title: Hunters of Dune by Brian Herbert and J. Anderson

Rating: 4/5

Summary: The Never-Ending Dune series is possibly ending. All the main characters in every Dune other novel are brought back for the grand finale.

Comments: The ideas in the Dune series are great, but this book particularly feels like a build-up to promote the next one. Not a complete story that can stand on it’s own. Probably what happens to any book that is about number 13? in a series. I did enjoy the book, but hiding in a spaceship for twenty years so the main characters can grow up for the next book felt like killing time. Also found it strange that the devasting Universe wrecking army in the previous book, the Honored Matres, came across as sort of wimpy has-beens.  

I did wait this long to read Hunters of Dune so I can pick up Sandworms of Dune right away. When a single book is split into two books it’s a bit strange having a year off in-between readings.
