## Description

What The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, Dune is to science fiction. Presenting Heretics of Dune, the fifth 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.
From Dune to Rakis to Dune, the wheel turns full circle. From burning desert to green and fertile land and on again to burning desert ... the cycle is complete.
The people of the Scattering are returning. Amongst them, mysterious and threatening, are the women who call themselves the Honoured Matres, adepts of an ecstatic cult.
And on Rakis, become Dune, an ancient prophecy is fulfilled with the coming of the she-sheer, Sheeana ...
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Want to know which Frank Herbert book is the best?
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 January 2020*

Turns out the one you're currently reading. Started on the "Dune" series at the end of 2018, each book just gets progressively better. After Finishing "God Emperor" I thought the series had peaked, I'm now 2/3rds of the way through "Heretics" and this one is even better. The characters of Miles Teg and Odrade are amazing, you find out how the Bene Gesserits are the ultimate bad a**es, you finally get properly introduced to the Bene Tleilax and of course get to meet the Honoured Matres........Dune, what an amazing series of books, totally blown away and I highly recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Continuing the saga
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 May 2012*

It's been a while since I read God Emperor of Dune and so I was aprehensive about starting Heretics because of how daunting it can be to keep up with Herbert's terms and cultures but I found myself engrossed in the story pretty quikly. Taken from the point of view of the Bene Geserit, Heretics of Dune concerns itself with the ongoing power struggle between the Sisterhood, the Bene Tlielax and a returning populace from The God Emperor's "Scattering" called The Honored Matres. It has all the depth you'd expect from the series and introduces a collection of new characters on a par with the likes of Paul Atredies and Leto II. The only criticism I can think of is that the novel ends abrubtly and glosses over two major events for the people of the Dune universe. The contrast between Herbert's usual detailed prose and the rushed ending is the only thing stopping this novel from being perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Herbert’s triumphs
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 November 2021*

Long after the original Dune, this is a worthy follow-up. It’s slow pace at the start is harder work but soon gives way to the various episodic story lines converging on the central plot. Once you have the main characters in your head it goes at a swift pace. The content may stimulate many ideas about human progress and the way our cultures operate — or simply provide an excellent sci-fi outing.
