Following their internationally bestselling novels Dune: The Butlerian Jihad and Dune: The Machine Crusade, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson forge a final tumultuous finish to their prequels to Frank Herbert's Dune. Dune: The Battle of Corrin It has been fifty-six hard years since the events of The Machine Crusade. Following the death of Serena Butler, the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. Synchronized Worlds and Unallied Planets are liberated one by one, and at long last, after years of struggle, the human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight. Unfortunately, Omnius has one last, deadly card to play. In a last-ditch effort to destroy humankind, virulent plagues are let loose throughout the galaxy, decimating the populations of whole planets . . . and once again, the tide of the titanic struggle shifts against the warriors of the human race. At last, the war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin. In the greatest battle in science fiction history, human and machine face off one last time. . . . And on the desert planet of Arrakis, the legendary Fremen of Dune become the feared fighting force to be discovered by Paul Muad'Dib in Frank Herbert's classic, Dune.

Comme on pourrait s'y attendre, ce tome conclut toutes les histoires qui ont été lancées dans les deux précédents tout en ouvrant la voie vers toutes les factions majeures que l'on connait dans Dune.
Dans l'ensemble, je l'ai trouvé moins bien écrit, usant parfois de certains raccourcis un peu trop simples ou insistants sur des points se révélant en définitive sans intérêt.

As you might expect, this tome wraps up all the stories that kicked off in the previous two while paving the way to all the major factions we know of in Dune.
Overall, I found it less well written, sometimes using certain shortcuts that were a little too simple or insisting on points that were ultimately uninteresting.
