About this ebook

From Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, Dune: The Lady of Caladan is a brand new novel in the internationally bestselling Dune series.

Lady Jessica, mother of Paul, and consort to Leto Atreides. The choices she made shaped an empire, but first the Lady of Caladan must reckon with her own betrayal of the Bene Gesserit. She has already betrayed her ancient order, but now she must decide if her loyalty to the Sisterhood is more important than the love of her own family.

Meanwhile, events in the greater empire are accelerating beyond the control of even the Reverend Mother, and Lady Jessica's family is on a collision course with destiny.

Ratings and reviews

I have read every Dune novel in the series, and also all of the dune novels by Frank Herbert. I loved all of them. But starting to read this new Lady of Caladan, I am feeling like I have read everything that is in this book in other books verbatim. And I'm not seeing enough of Jessica in it. It's all over the place with all of the other things that are going on in the universe, and it's supposed to be about Jessica. Because I've read all the other books I recognize all of the other people and events and also my memory is so good that I can tell it's the same text. I'll keep reading, but I hope this is not just a pasted together book from all the others.
