Jet - 3: Hijos de Dune

More about the book

Nine years after Paul Muad'Dib's disappearance into the deserts of Arrakis, his orphaned twins, Ghanima and Leto, are growing up amidst a struggle for control of the Imperium. They find themselves surrounded by treachery, particularly from their aunt Alia, who has succumbed to being the Abomination feared by many. Possessed by ancestral voices, including that of the sinister Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Alia is driven to fulfill dark prophecies. As conspiracies swirl, the cult of Muad'Dib and the post-Paul government appear to be decaying from within. Sensing vulnerability, factions like the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and House Corrino aim to obliterate House Atreides. A standout figure in this narrative is the Preacher, a mysterious prophet who critiques Alia's regency and laments the rapid degradation of Fremen culture. His wise, all-knowing perspective allows for a more didactic approach without being overt. Through the Preacher's insights, the ecological and evolutionary themes that permeate the trilogy become vividly clear, leading to a deeply emotional conclusion to this remarkable saga.
