Aan het einde van Duin: Kapittel, Frank Herberts laatste Duin-roman, ontsnapte Duncan Idaho met een aantal medestanders in een nulschip naar de onbekende gebieden van de ruimte. Zij vluchtten voor de monsterlijke Achtenswaardige Maters, de slechte tegenhangers van de Eerwaarde Moeders, die zelf weer op de vlucht waren voor een mysterieuze en angstaanjagende Vijand.
Ook Duncan wordt nu achtervolgd door deze onbekende Vijand. Om zich beter te kunnen verdedigen maakt hij gebruik van de genentechnologie van Scytale, om een aantal legendarische personen uit de geschiedenis van Duin tot leven te wekken, onder wie Paul Muad'Dib, Chani, Vrouwe Jessica, Stilgar, de mentat Thufir Hawat en zelfs de verrader, Wellington Yueh.
Samen moeten ze de Vijand het hoofd bieden. Ze mogen niet falen, want behalve hun eigen leven staat ook het lot van het gehele menselijke ras op het spel...

Lame

This book read nothing like a Frank Herbert “Dune” novel. Where are the supposed notes found by his son written by Frank and how on earth are they integrated into this book? I don’t see it. Terribly disappointed and quite frankly disgusted. It’s pretty obvious these books were written only to be cash cows. Also just a terrible read in general.

More weird sex stuff. Space Jews, but this time with diet Zionism. But it’s much more coherent than chapterhouse. At least this one had a plot that made sense.

I thought this had potential but then I just got bored pretty quickly. The only good thing is that there's only one more book left in this series. Legoo.

What a waste of perfectly good hours. Only herculean effort can make Frank Herbert's Dune universe this mundane and banal. It's like somebody stole the Mona Lisa and drew over it in crayon.

What it’s got going for it
- much easier to read (although not really in its favour, because the first 6 were great because of the compelling writing, my brain has just become tired from all the deep talking and ideas and is appreciating an easier read)
- I like Murbella in this one still
- origins of the Honoured Matres felt like the best sort of revenge
- handlers part was enjoyable, glad that Hrrm broke his conditioning for Sheeana

Things I didn’t like
- writing nowhere near as good as Frank’s books
- way too long, and too many small time jumps (would have been better as a couple of big ones and some exposition)
- hate that they went more into the “tanks”. This was my least favourite part of this series’ worldbuilding, and I wish they hadn’t gone into more detail/utilised them here
- too much gross stuff. Really didn’t like Uxtal, and he never became sympathetic.

Hoping that the machines’ motivations have more substance in the finale

The best word I can think of to describe it as is 'profane'

Anyone who has read Frank Herbert's Dune masterpieces will be sorely disappointed by Brian Herbert's weak attempt at furthering his father's legacy. Brian's apology (I am not my father and will not endeavor to write like him) is a pitiful attempt to absolve himself of the culpability of writing such pathetic drivel. I read the final two Dune books because I wanted to know how the story ended. I knew that Brian had taken his father's notes, and I hoped some portion of the master's ability has rubbed off on his progeny. Unfortunately, this was far from the case.

The true Dune devotee will be better served reading Frank's notes, if they can be had, than slogging through this noisome tome. We would have all been better served if Brian had assigned the task to a second-year English major instead of fumbling with the attempt as he did. Be warned - if you've read the first six Dune novels, you will almost certainly be woefully dissatisfied by the final two.
