Dune: The Machine Crusade

More than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in The Butlerian Jihad.

The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years, but the forces led by Serena Butler and Irbis Ginjo have made only slight gains; the human worlds grow weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing from victory to defeat.

The fearsome cymeks, led by Agamemnon, hatch new plots to regain their lost power from Omnius, as their numbers dwindle and time begins to run out.

The fighters of Ginaz, led by Jool Noret, forge themselves into an elite warrior class, a weapon against the machine-dominated worlds.

Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva are on the verge of the most important discovery in human history: a way to fold space and travel instantaneously to any place in the galaxy.
