The third book in the double award winning Dune sequence moves on. For all things must pass and only change is constant. The sand-blasted desert world of Arrakis has become green, watered and fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the Freman to domination of the galaxy, is gone, but for the Children of Dune the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own destruction. As the altered climate threatens extinction to the giant sandworms, fanatics challenge the rule of the Atreides family.
The main characters here are the 9 year old twins of Maud'dib, Ghanima and Leto. As you would expect, they are not your traditional 9 year olds. At their young age, they are incredibly powerful, with the potential to grow into powers far beyond those of even Maud'dib himself. Paul's sister, Alia rules in his stead throughout this book, as the twins are deemed too young to rule. The only problem being that Alia has become quite insane, and other forces in the Universe would just as soon never see the twins grow to the age of ascension...
