Princess of Dune
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Set two years before Dune, Princess of Dune is the never-before-told story of two key women in the life of Paul Muad'Dib—Princess Irulan, his wife in name only, and Paul's true love, the Fremen Chani. Both women become central to Paul's galaxy-spanning Imperial reign.
Raised in the Imperial court and born to be a political bargaining chip, Irulan was sent at an early age to be trained as a Bene Gesserit Sister. As Princess Royal, she also learned important lessons from her father—the Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV. Now of marriageable age, Princess Irulan sees the machinations of the many factions vying for power—the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, the Spacing Guild, the Imperial throne, and a ruthless rebellion in the Imperial military. The young woman has a wise and independent streak and is determined to become much more than a pawn to be moved about on anyone's gameboard.
Meanwhile, on Arrakis, Chani—the daughter of Liet-Kynes, the Imperial Planetologist who serves under the harsh rule of House Harkonnen—is trained in the Fremen mystical ways by an ancient Reverend Mother. Brought up to believe in her father's ecological dream of a green Arrakis, she follows Liet around to Imperial testing stations, surviving the many hazards of desert life. Chani soon learns the harsh cost of Fremen dreams and obligations under the oppressive boot heel of the long Harkonnen occupation.

Beginning with the observation that before Paul Atreides came to power, there were two important women who came before him, this book offers their story, one of contrasts, passion, and danger. At the emperor's palace, Princess Irulan chafes under her father's rule but finds new hope in the eyes of a dashing captain who has the audacity to ask for her hand in marriage. The other princess, Chani, comes from the sand people, the Fremen, and is the daughter of the noted planetologist on Liet-Kynes, who sees something unexpected in the desert related to the always intriguing Spacing Guild that has galaxy-spanning implications. Of course, the prince is more than he seems, the powerful are not as powerful as they think, and the desert won't give up its secrets easily, paving the way for a delightful adventure. VERDICT This is a worthy new addition to the Dune universe, after The Heir of Caladan, filled with all of the best parts of Dune: the political scheming, the mutant space navigators, and the mystery and menace of the desert.--Jeremiah Rood
