The second of the Rat's trilogy and the weakest of the three, basically a rehash of the first, with the main character from the first novel trying to destroy a group of rats that escaped from London to the green belt. Still good though.
It was only when the bones of the first devoured victims were discovered that the true nature and power of these swarming black creatures, with their razor sharp teeth and the taste for human blood, began to be realized by a panic-stricken city. For millions of years, humans and rats have been natural enemies. But now for the first time – suddenly, shockingly, horribly – the balance of power has shifted…..
HUNTERS OF DUNE and the concluding volume, SANDWORMS OF DUNE, bring together the great story lines and beloved characters in Frank Herbert’s classic Dune universe, ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to the original Dune series and beyond. Based directly on Frank Herbert’s final outline, which lay hidden in a safe-deposit box for a decade, these two volumes will finally answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades.
With their usual skill, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have taken ideas left behind by Frank Herbert and filled them with living characters and a true sense of wonder. Where Paul Of Dune picked up the saga directly after the events of Dune, The Winds Of Dune begins after the events of Dune Messiah.
Frank Herbert's Dune ended with Paul Muad’Dib in control of the planet Dune. Herbert’s next Dune book, Dune Messiah, picked up the story several years later after Paul’s armies had conquered the galaxy. But what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah? How did Paul create his empire and become the Messiah? Following in the footsteps of Frank Herbert, New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are answering these questions in Paul Of Dune.
