In DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 2: Muad’Dib, the second of three volumes adapting Frank Herbert’s Dune, young Paul Atreides and his mother, the lady Jessica, find themselves stranded in the deep desert of Arrakis. Betrayed by one of their own and destroyed by their greatest enemy, Paul and Jessica must find the mysterious Fremen, or perish. This faithful adaptation of the 1965 novel, Dune, by Brian Herbert, son of Frank Herbert, and the New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson, continues to explore Paul’s journey as he evolves from boy to mysterious messiah. Illustrated by Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín, this spectacular blend of adventure and spirituality, environmentalism, and politics is a groundbreaking look into our universe and transformed by the graphic novel format into a powerful, fantastical tale for a new generation of readers.

Galactic empires clash, elemental beings devastate whole planetary systems, and the factions of humanity are pitted against each other in the epic conclusion of Anderson''s Saga of the Suns.

Kevin J. Anderson''s sequel to Spine of The Dragon brings bitter rivalry and blood feud—that might be the downfall of the human kingdoms. Two continents at war, the Three Kingdoms and Ishara, have been in conflict for a thousand years. But when an outside threat arises—the reawakening of a powerful ancient race that wants to remake the world—the two warring nations must somehow set aside generations of hatred to form an alliance against a far more deadly enemy. Book One awakened the great dragon, and set the kingdoms at each other’s throats. In Book Two, Vengewar, the Three Kingdoms are shattering under pressure from an inexperienced new King who is being led by an ambitious regent to ignore the threat of the Wreths, in favor of a Vengewar with Ishara. His brother and uncle can see only the danger of the Older Race. In Ishara, the queen lies in a coma, while an ambitious priest seizes power. But he has neither the training nor the talent to rule a nation— or even a city. Ishara is in deadly peril, and the Wreths have not even appeared on their continent.

Der zweite Band der Graphic Novel Adaption von »Dune«, dem genredefinierenden Science-Fiction-Klassiker von Frank Herbert. Paul Atreides, jetzt Herzog des Hauses Atreides, und seine Mutter, die Lady Jessica, sind auf der Flucht vor der brutalen Attacke der Harkonnen tief in die Wüste von Arrakis geflohen. Von ihren Verbündeten verraten und aus ihrem eigenen Heim vertrieben, müssen sie das Vertrauen der mysteriösen Fremen gewinnen, wenn sie überleben wollen. »Dune« erzählt die Geschichte von Paul Atreides und seiner Familie, die auf dem Wüstenplaneten Arrakis die Vorherrschaft über die Förderung des Spice übernehmen, der mystischen Droge, die das Reisen zwischen den Sternen ermöglicht. Frank Herbert revolutionierte mit »Dune« und seiner einzigartigen Mischung aus Abenteuer, Mystizismus, Ökologie und politischem Ränkespiel das Science-Fiction-Genre. Gemeinsam mit Bestseller-Autor Kevin J. Anderson adaptiert sein Sohn Brian Herbert das Meisterwerk in drei Bänden als Graphic Novel, um eine neue Generation von Lesern zu begeistern. Mit Raúl Allén zeichnet einer der profiliertesten Künstler der Comic-Szene für die graphische Umsetzung der Vision Herbert Verantwortung, und die Cover-Illustrationen von Legende Bill Sienkiewicz heben das Projekt endgültig auf ein Niveau, das Exzellenz verspricht.

Frank Herbert''s Dune series is one of the grandest epics in the annals of imaginative literature. Selling millions of copies worldwide, it is science fiction''s answer to The Lord of the Rings, a brilliantly imaginative epic of high adventure, unforgettable characters, and immense scope. 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. And on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider and his band of outlaws take the first steps to making themselves the feared fighters who will change the course of history: the Fremen. Here is the unrivaled imaginative power that has put Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson on bestseller lists everywhere and earned them the high regard of readers around the globe. The fantastic saga of Dune continues in Dune: The Machine Crusade.
