| | Cylon Alliance - The Dune Epic |
 | | Heretics of Dune is primarily an adventure tale and is far less epic than its predecessors. | | | Continuing the epic thousands of years in the future, this book was remarkable for its portrayal of a continuing conflict between the mutant god and tyrant ruler, Leto II, and a seemingly endless series of cloned Duncan Idahos, all of whom eventually see the ruler as a sinister threat that must be removed. | | | This story is a bit darker than the already dim outlook of the previous books. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Dune Messiah: Books |
| | Dune is an epic set in a new and interesting world, keeping you reading to uncover the revelations in the story and the universe. | | | The book carries one, rather basic when it's boiled down, storyline which frankly fails to keep the interest or impress. | | | I confess to being disappointed by this book. |

| | Dune is a planet named for its global terrain of scorching hot desert, and it is but one planet of the thousands (perhaps millions) under the rule of Padishah Emperor Elrood IX, Emperor of the Known Universe. | | | Their stories are well told, with enough loose ends left at the end to whet the appetite for the promised two further volumes. | | | "Dune" also refers to the novel of the same name written by the father of one of the present co-authors. |
