ACE Children of Dune: Deluxe Edition

Exactly as advertised and expected

Very soft paper and cover, dont think that it can survive more than 2 readings I hope the content part does not require a feedback since it well known

Delivery was prompt however when i received the book, it was in a bad condition. Have requested for a replacement, hopefully this can be resolved.

I continue to make my later-in-life-than-expected trek through Frank Herbert's "Dune" series, and I have to say that the trilogy of "Dune," "Dune Messiah," and "Children of Dune" is an incredibly satisfying, fascinating, and confounding unified tale that entirely exceeds my expectations. While "Dune" gets all the Hollywood fame, or infamy, as novels it is really most appropriate to consider the first three books as a unified trilogy along the lines of "Lord of the Rings," as Herbert's cautionary tale of the risks created by charismatic leaders only bears its full fruit after three all three books. It's safe to say that "Children of Dune" is the craziest of the three books, including a morphing of one of the lead characters into something beyond human as well as demonic possession. I don't want to get into the plot - this book has been summarized and analyzed to death. Just get yourself a copy of the first trilogy and start reading, and you will be inspired for the highly recommended re-read. This Deluxe hardcover edition is a fine edition. Beautiful artwork for the cover and inside covers, and a few hidden gems I won't spoil.

Ótimo

Quelle lecture passionnante! Plongée dans un univers très élaboré, avec l'écriture riche de Franck Herbert. Un best off de à l'intersection entre heroic fantasy, sci-fi et fantastique. Une lecture qui est immersive, que l'on ait visionné les films avant ou après la découverte des romans originaux. A lire et relire.
