Synopsis Following up on the success of PAUL OF DUNE (2008), which dovetailed with the events of Frank Herbert's classic SF epic, DUNE--Frank's son Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson fill in more gaps in the greater Dune story with WINDS OF DUNE. Longtime fans, who always wondered what happened after the events of DUNE MESSIAH and before CHILDREN OF DUNE, will finally have their curiosity quenched. Herbert and Anderson clearly know the details of the series and its characters inside and out, and this book sheds new light, in particular, on the mounting tensions between Jessica and Alia, while the Imperial government is close to collapse and the House of Atreides is growing in strength.
