Book Description:

Following their internationally bestselling novels Dune: The Butlerian
Jihad and Dune: The Machine Crusade, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
forge a final tumultuous finish to their prequels to Frank Herbert's
Dune. Dune: The Battle of Corrin It has been fifty-six hard years since
the events of The Machine Crusade. Following the death of Serena Butler,
the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. Synchronized Worlds and
Unallied Planets are liberated one by one, and at long last, after years
of struggle, the human worlds begin to hope that the end of the
centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight.
Unfortunately, Omnius has one last, deadly card to play. In a last-ditch
effort to destroy humankind, virulent plagues are let loose throughout
the galaxy, decimating the populations of whole planets . . . and once
again, the tide of the titanic struggle shifts against the warriors of
the human race. At last, the war that has lasted many lifetimes will be
decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin. In the greatest battle in
science fiction history, human and machine face off one last time. . . .
And on the desert planet of Arrakis, the legendary Fremen of Dune become
the feared fighting force to be discovered by Paul Muad'Dib in Frank
Herbert's classic, Dune.
