"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.

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."… (meer)
This was better than the previous two books in this Legends of Dune Trilogy. I found the pacing better and the plot more engaging in The Battle of Corrin than in either The Butlerian Jihad or The Machine Crusade. Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson threw in a couple of nice twists before the end of the book and clearly set up the possibility that humanity will still need to deal with thinking machines in the future despite their victory on Corrin. But this is still not as good as the original six Dune books authored by Frank Herbert. ( )
Ce troisième et dernier roman de la série Dune, la génèse, est moins bon que les deux qui le précèdent. Tout d'abord, le roman couvre deux années du conflit entre les humains et les machines pensantes, séparées de dix-neuf ans. Il se passe énormément de choses durant ces deux années et étonnamment, rien dans les dix-neuf qui les séparent ! Cette différence est trop importante pour être crédible. La crédibilité, c'est aussi ce qui pêche dans la résolution de nombreux fils d'intrigue. Les différents protagonistes ne semblent agir que lorsque les auteurs mettent leur focus dessus, et rester ensuite inertes jusqu'à leur prochaine mise en avant. Cette fin de trilogie est donc une petite déception. ( )
A satisfying finish to this prequel trilogy. The spice navigators are started, the Bene Gesserit truly start, the Fremen start and House Corrino comes into existance.You see the beginning of the Face Dancers, cool stuff. The Titans are destroyed, along with the last Omnius incarnation. The Harkonnen betrayal is shown. So many question left tho. I am hoping for more! ( )

Während Imperien aufstiegen und untergingen, wandte Arrakis, der Wüstenplanet, dem Universum unerschütterlich sein Gesicht zu.
