(hb; 2022: third novel in the
Caladan trilogy. Twenty-third book in the Dune series.)
From the inside flap
“In Dune: The Heir of Caladan,
the climactic novel in the Caladan trilogy. . . we step into the shoes of Paul
Atreides. Not yet a man in years, he is about to enter a world he could never
have imagined.
“The story that began with Duke
Leto’s rise to power, then continued with the consequences of Lady Jessica’s
betrayal, will now conclude with Paul becoming the leader that he needs to be
on the way to his pivotal role as Muad’Dib.”
Review
The third and final entry in
the Caladan trilogy is a slick, well-edited action/adventure space opera, an entertaining,
direct lead-up to Frank Herbert’s original Dune (1965). In Heir, readers can
see the seeds that come to character- and event-based fruition in Frank Herbert’s
Dune (1965). While not vital to the Dune timeline—it’s been a while
since any Dune book has been—Heir, like most post-God Emperor of Dune
(1981) books, is a thrilling, steady-build and twist-effective ride by excellent
writers, with recurring, beloved and beloathed characters. Worth seeking out,
this.
