"The Children of Dune are twin siblings Leto and Ghanima Atreides, whose father, the Emperor Paul Maud'Dib, disappeared in the desert wastelands of Arrakis nine years ago. Like their father, the twins possess supernormal abilities-making them valuable to their manipulative aunt Alia, who rules the Empire in the name of House Atreides. Facing treason and rebellion on two fronts, Alia's rule is not absolute. The displaced House Corrino is plotting to regain the throne while the fanatical Fremen are being provoked into open revole by the enigmatic figure known only as The Preacher.

But Leto and Ghanima have their own plans for their visions-and their destinies..."--Page 4 of cover. |
