À propos de cet audio
In Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Mentats of Dune, the thinking machines have been defeated but the struggle for humanity’s future continues. Gilbertus Albans has founded the Mentat School, a place where humans can learn the efficient techniques of thinking machines. But Gilbertus walks an uneasy line between his own convictions and compromises in order to survive the Butlerian fanatics, led by the madman Manford Torondo and his Swordmaster Anari Idaho.
Mother Superior Raquella attempts to rebuild her Sisterhood School on Wallach IX, with her most talented and ambitious student, Valya Harkonnen, who also has another goal - to exact revenge on Vorian Atreides, the legendary hero of the Jihad, whom she blames for her family’s downfall.
Meanwhile, Josef Venport conducts his own war against the Butlerians. VenHold Spacing Fleet controls nearly all commerce thanks to the superior mutated Navigators that Venport has created, and he places a ruthless embargo on any planet that accepts Manford Torondo’s anti-technology pledge, hoping to starve them into submission. But fanatics rarely surrender easily . . . The Mentats, the Navigators, and the Sisterhood all strive to improve the human race, but each group knows that as Butlerian fanaticism grows stronger, the battle will be to choose the path of humanity’s future - whether to embrace civilization, or to plunge into an endless dark age.

Direct follow up to the previous novel
Once again I am finding that the 2nd books of these prequel trilogies are excellent. The ending is great.
It is baffling to think that humanity hasn't come together after the fall of the machines. In classic human fashion, they start fighting each other.
Here we have a classic example of having fear of an evil, causes other great evil, which in turn spurns greater evil in retaliation. It is the endless cycle of doom/hate we've seen in the entire Original Dune Saga right until the end.
The Butlarians don't realise that the extreme havoc they cause out of their fear, in turn, has dire consequences. Those who have been affected by the Butlarians now have extreme motivation to right the wrong that they have been dealt, which in turn again, has dire consequences.
Having reamerged back into the Emperium, Vorian Atredies is searching for lost family (essentially his sense of purpose) scattered across the planets, though once again, his past comes searching for him.
Supreme Mother Raquella Berto-Anirul must manage a rift within her Sisterhood and pick up the peices from the previous novel.
Gilbertus Albans walks a fine line dealing with the Bultarians to keep his School safe.
Manford Torondo and his Butlarians continue to cause havoc across the Emperium advocating their contradicting beliefs, which are quite baffling to the reader. He and Jospeh Venport have now declared open war upon each other.
Venport Holdings works to gain the upper advantage over the Butlarians.
The Corrino's once again are fumbling to try and maintain their control over the Emperium as the Emporer fears the Butlarians.
Valia Harkonnen still works to raise the status of her house while trying to work her way up the sisterhood.
Spoiler ahead! Do not read anymore unless you have read the previous novel:
Erasmus continues to evolve his mindset and has come grasp the major strength and weakness of every human; their emotions. WILD!

Great character development
Another solid story from Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson. Fleshing out more of the story leading up to Dune, they weave an interesting tale that keeps you entertained.

great character studies
The characters came alive and I often found myself talking back to them or wishing I could tell them "where to go".

Great story, too many recaps
The story developments were great but there was constant stalling caused by endless recap of not only things that had occured in previous books, but also past chapters. I don't need reminders of what happened 2 chapters ago! even at the ending the narrator kept repeating events that were very clearly understood already.
