3,0 stars

Children of Dune beviel mij verrassend goed, dit vierde deel viel mij dan weer tegen. Het speelt zich af zo'n 3500 jaar na het vorige boek. Heel veel monologen en dialogen maar het ontbreekt aan actie. En zelfs de actie die er is wordt omschreven vanuit ooggetuigen verslagen. Het heeft soms meer weg van een filosofisch gesprek zoals Plato die schreef dan van een ScienceFiction roman. Evengoed drie sterren vanwege enkele filosofische doordenkertjes.
