Heretics of Dune is the fifth novel in the original Dune series. Frank Herbert takes us fifteen hundred years after the previous book and well over four thousand years beyond the original trilogy. The God Emperor is gone, the Atreides clan has faded from its former prominence, and, as always, there are a number of groups struggling for dominance. With so many specialized types of humans and prolonged lifespans, it is not overly surprising that civilization has not undergone any truly drastic changes since Leto II’s transformation.
Ships promptly in a corrugated mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
