Heretics of Dune
RECOMMENDATION INFO
book by Frank Herbert
added by aaronoliver
rated 6.3/10 by 9 people
isbn * 0450057771
I feel a little silly putting this book up without its predeccesors in the series, but I think this is the best of them.

This is book five in the legendary Dune series, by Frank Herbert. This book surrounds the Bene Gesserit war general, Miles Teg. Teg lives several thousand years after the death of the prophet Paul Mua'Dib, and is called up by the Bene Gesserit to combat a grave threat to core of Mua'Dib's old empire.

This book must be read as part of the series, but I believe it is the best of them.
