From burning desert to green and fertile land and on again to burning desert—the cycle completes itself. Millennia have passed since the events of \u003cem\u003eGod Emperor of Dune\u003c\/em\u003e. The rigid order that held the universe in stasis has shattered. The people of the Scattering—humanity scattered across the stars in a great diaspora—are returning to known space, bringing with them technologies, knowledge and ambitions that threaten to reshape everything. Amongst them comes a mysterious and terrifying force: the Honoured Matres, women who call themselves adepts of an ecstatic cult. They are ruthless, powerful, and utterly alien in their methods and motivations. Their arrival sends shockwaves through the Imperium, challenging the established order and igniting conflicts that will determine the fate of worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2 animate-in fade-in-25 duration-700\"\u003eAnd on Rakis—once Arrakis, the desert planet itself reborn—an ancient prophecy stirs to life. The coming of the she-sheer, Sheeana, marks a new chapter in the saga of \u003cem\u003eDune\u003c\/em\u003e. As the great powers collide—the Bene Gesserit, the returning Scattering, the mysterious Honoured Matres—the very foundation of human civilisation trembles. What \u003cem\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e is to fantasy, \u003cem\u003eDune\u003c\/em\u003e is to science fiction—an awe-inspiring world and a story of truly epic scope. Frank Herbert's fifth masterpiece explores cycles of history, the nature of power, and humanity's struggle to transcend its own limitations. \"The most profound and moving science fiction ever written.\" A deeply climate-conscious novel and a compelling family saga for the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2 animate-in fade-in-25 duration-700\"\u003eRead the series which inspired the Academy Award-winning cinematic events \u003cem\u003eDune: Part One\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDune: Part Two\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Literary Cat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52866360246536,"sku":"9781473233799","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/7688\/0392\/files\/9781473233799.jpg?v=1764036029","url":"https:\/\/literarycatbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/heretics-of-dune-dune-5-by-herbert-franck","provider":"Literary Cat Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
