Synopsis "Heretics of Dune (Dune Chronicles) "

Book Five in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles--the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time Leto Atreides, the God Emperor of Dune, is dead. In the fifteen hundred years since his passing, the Empire has fallen into ruin. The great Scattering saw millions abandon the crumbling civilization and spread out beyond the reaches of known space. The planet Arrakis--now called Rakis--has reverted to its desert climate, and its great sandworms are dying. Now the Lost Ones are returning home in pursuit of power. And as these factions vie for control over the remnants of the Empire, a girl named Sheeana rises to prominence in the wastelands of Rakis, sending religious fervor throughout the galaxy. For she possesses the abilities of the Fremen sandriders--fulfilling a prophecy foretold by the late God Emperor....

Frank Patrick Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington (1920). Before turning to science fiction, he had various jobs, from photographer and TV cameraman to oyster fisherman. In 1965, he introduced the book series The Dune Chronicles, which was critically acclaimed and popular, describing an imaginary world with its own politics, ecology, and social structure.

The first book of the saga, Dune, was a true literary phenomenon and won the Nebula and Hugo Awards, as well as the International Fantasy Award, which he shared with Lord of the Flies by William Golding. He died on February 11, 1986. The rest of the saga includes: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune.
