Audiokniha: V šerém dávnověku byli Atreidové a Harkonnenové spojenci. Tehdy se začala psát historie Duny… Zkostnatělé Staré impérium kdysi dokázala svrhnout pouhá dvacítka odhodlaných spiklenců jištěných robotickými pomocníky. Nadvláda Titánů, jak se vzbouřenci označovali, však netrvala dlouho. Přestože se zbavili smrtelných schránek a stali se kymeky – věčnými mozky ovládajícími mechanická těla –, nedokázali vzdorovat rostoucí moci myslících strojů. Počítačová všemysl, jež si začala říkat Omnius, si podmanila většinu známého vesmíru a učinila z kymeků své nejnebezpečnější bojovníky. Tak je tomu už po tisíc let, a přesto hrstka lidských planet – Liga vznešených – nadále vzdoruje drtivé přesile Synchronizovaných světů ovládaných roboty. Do nelítostné války významně zasáhnou i dva výjimeční mladíci: Xavier Harkonnen a Vorian Atreides, jejichž rozdílné osudy spojí láska k téže ženě. K ženě, jejíž odvaha rozpoutala povstání lidských otroků proti Omniovi, vzpoura nazvaná Služebnický džihád… Příběh pouštní planety Arrakis předčasnou smrtí autora neskončil. Neutuchající zájem čtenářů přiměl jeho syna Briana, aby se spojil s Kevinem J. Andersonem a otcův fascinující svět opět oživil. Trilogie Historie Duny, kterou zahajuje román Služebnický džihád, se odehrává zhruba 10 000 let před narozením Paula Atreida. „Na romány a poznámky zesnulého spisovatele autoři navázali ohromujícím dílem plným zajímavých odkazů a informací, z ...

Při tomto křížovém tažení byly povražděny už miliardy lidí – nejen vojáků Ligy vznešených, ale i nevinných kolonistů a otroků ze Synchronizovaných světů. Zničené stroje se nikdo sčítat neobtěžuje. Ke konečnému vítězství však mají obě strany stále stejně daleko, a tak v nelítostné partii záleží na každém tahu.

Between the end of Frank Herbert''s Dune and his next novel Dune Messiah lies a mystery: how a hero adored by a planet became a tyrant hated by a universe. Paul of Dune begins the story of those twelve fateful years and the wars of the jihad of Paul Muad''Dib. It is an epic of battle and betrayal; of love and idealism; of ambition and intrigue. Above all, it is the story of how Paul Atreides - who achieved absolute power when scarcely more than a boy - changes from an idealist into a dictator who is the prisoner of the bureaucrats and fanatics who surround him. Have you read Dune? And have you read Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson''s novels continuing the story? The latest are Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune.

Frank Herbert's Dune series is one of the great creations of imaginative literature, science fiction's answer to The Lord of the Rings.Decades after Herbert's original novels, the Dune saga was continued by Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, in collaboration with Kevin J. Anderson. Working from Frank Herbert's own notes, the acclaimed authors reveal the chapter of the Dune saga most eagerly anticipated by readers: the Butlerian Jihad.Throughout the Dune novels, Frank Herbert frequently referred to the war in which humans wrested their freedom from "thinking machines." In Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring to life the story of that war, a tale previously seen only in tantalizing hints and clues. Finally, we see how Serena Butler's passionate grief ignites the struggle that will liberate humans from their machine masters; here is the amazing tale of the Zensunni Wanderers, who escape bondage to flee to the desert world where they will declare themselves the Free Men of Dune. And here is the backward, nearly forgotten planet of Arrakis, where traders have discovered the remarkable properties of the spice melange....

The breathtaking vision and incomparable storytelling of Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson's Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, a prequel to Frank Herbert's classic Dune, propelled it to the ranks of speculative fiction's classics in its own right. Now, with all the color, scope, and fascination of the prior novel, comes Dune: The Machine Crusade.More than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in The Butlerian Jihad. The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years, but the forces led by Serena Butler and Irbis Ginjo have made only slight gains; the human worlds grow weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing from victory to defeat.The fearsome cymeks, led by Agamemnon, hatch new plots to regain their lost power from Omnius--as their numbers dwindle and time begins to run out. The fighters of Ginaz, led by Jool Noret, forge themselves into an elite warrior class, a weapon against the machine-dominated worlds. Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva are on the verge of the most important discovery in human history-a way to "fold" space and travel instantaneously to any place in the galaxy.And on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider and his band of outlaws take the first ...

Frank Herbert's award-winning Dune chronicles captured the imagination of millions of readers worldwide. By his death in 1986, Herbert had completed six novels in the series, but much of his vision remained unwritten. Now, working from his father's recently discovered files, Brian Herbert and bestselling novelist Kevin J. Anderson collaborate on a new novel, the prelude to Dune—where we step onto the planet Arrakis…decades before Dune's hero, Paul Muad'Dib Atreides, walks its sands.Here is the rich and complex world that Frank Herbert created, in the time leading up to the momentous events of Dune. As Emperor Elrood's son plots a subtle regicide, young Leto Atreides leaves for a year's education on the mechanized world of Ix; a planetologist named Pardot Kynes seeks the secrets of Arrakis; and the eight-year-old slave Duncan Idaho is hunted by his cruel masters in a terrifying game from which he vows escape and vengeance. But none can envision the fate in store form them; one that will make them renegades—and shapers of history.

Mentati Duny je další román Briana Herberta a Kevina J. Andersona, zasazený do populárního vesmíru Duny, vytvořeného Frankem Herbertem.Zhruba sto let po bitvě o Corrin se na planetách odehrávají změny, které ovlivní budoucnost celého lidstva. Hnutí Manforda Toronda, jež získalo vliv po porážce myslících strojů, putuje po planetách a fanaticky ničí všechny stopy po technologiích. Gilbertus Albans, svěřenec nenáviděného robota Erasma, založil na planetě Lampadas mentatskou školu, v níž své svěřence učí být „lidskými počítači“, provádět matematické výpočty vyššího řádu a nacházet logické zákonitosti. Ctihodná matka Raquella Berto-Anirulová se pokouší znovu vybudovat Sesterstvo spolu se svou nejtalentovanější studentkou Valyou Harkonnenovou, která má ovšem vlastní cíl – pomstít se Vorianu Atreidovi, hrdinovi z dob Služebnického džihádu, jehož viní z pádu své rodiny.Válku proti antitechnologickým fanatikům vede i Josef Venport. Jeho kosmická flotila díky zmutovaným kormidelníkům ovládá skoro všechen meziplanetární obchod. Jenže slepá víra se nepoddává snadno…Začíná křížové tažení, které rozhodne o dalším směřování vesmíru – vydá se lidstvo na cestu k civilizaci, či se obrátí zpátky k době temna?
