The Butlerian Jihad opens in the Time of Titans, when tyrannical rulers seize the Old Empire using ruthless, all-powerful computers, and a small band of rebels ignites the spark of resistance that will define millennia. The Machine Crusade widens the conflict across the galaxy: alliances fracture, sacrifices mount, and the arms race between human ingenuity and machine intelligence accelerates toward all-out war. The Battle of Corrin closes the trilogy with the climactic confrontation between humanity and the machines, resolving the fates of key houses and belief systems that echo throughout the entire Dune saga. Together the three novels form a complete, self-contained arc rewarding both long-time Dune readers and newcomers seeking an entry point distinct from the original 1965 novel. Herbert and Anderson balance sweeping space opera battles with intimate character drama and moral questions about technology and free will that feel relevant today.. Complete three-book trilogy in one set — no gaps, no waiting between instalments. Explores essential Dune backstory: the Butlerian Jihad and the birth of anti-machine doctrine. Written with Frank Herbert's original notes for authentic series continuity. Brand new paperback edi
