书籍简介

由原著作者法兰克·赫伯特（Frank Herbert）的儿子Brian Herbert和Kevin J. Anderson联手，将《沙丘魔堡》的故事延续下去。

原作者弗兰克·赫伯特(Frank Herbert)经常提到人类从“思考机器”那里获得自由的战争。在第一本书中，那场战争的故事引人入胜。最后，我们看到瑟琳娜·巴特勒(Serena Butler)充满激情的悲伤如何点燃了人类从机器主人手中解放出来的斗争。这是一个关于某个流浪者的神奇故事，他们逃离束缚，逃到沙漠世界，在那里他们将宣布自己是沙丘的自由人。

The New York Times bestselling trilogy is back! Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's prequel to the epic Dune Saga is back in fantastic new reissues, starting with Dune: The Butlerian Jihad.

Here is the tale of how Serena Butler's passionate grief ignites the war that will liberate humans from their machine masters. Here is the beginning of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. Here are the a Wanderers, who escape bondage to flee to the desert world where they will declare themselves the Free Men of Dune.

And here is the backward, nearly forgotten planet of Arrakis, where traders have discovered the remarkable properties of the spice melange.

Against the brute efficiency of the Machines, the human race has only imagination, compassion, and the capacity for love. It will have to be enough.
