    • The Dosadi Experiment: Frank Herbert's new novel, a swirling, vividly complex story set on the most alien and challenging world he has yet created - a brutal prison planet where 850 million beings are confined in 40 square kilometres. The Dosadi Experiment: a stunning evocation of alien cultures, and of an experiment so monstrous it threatens the entire galaxy. Totally credible and told with an ease which belies an extraordinary control over the genre - The Times J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are not in Mr Herbert's inventive league... The range is staggering... Splendid entertainment, with moral sinew and an astonishing romance - New York Times
