Publisher's Summary
The second instalment of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s best-selling The Schools of Dune trilogy.
Gilbertus Albans has founded the Mentat School, a place where humans can learn the efficient techniques of thinking machines. But Gilbertus walks an uneasy line between his own convictions and compromises in order to survive the Butlerian fanatics, led by the madman Manford Torondo and his Swordmaster Anari Idaho.
Mother Superior Raquella attempts to rebuild her Sisterhood School on Wallach IX, with her most talented and ambitious student, Valya Harkonnen...who also has another goal - to exact revenge on Vorian Atreides, the legendary hero of the Jihad, whom she blames for her family's downfall.
The Mentats, the Navigators and the Sisterhood all strive to improve the human race but know that as Butlerian fanaticism grows stronger, the battle will be to choose the path of humanity's future - whether to embrace civilisation or to plunge into an endless dark age.

Degeneration of story telling
Characters throughout this second book have their carefully crafted characteristics compromised to fulfil narrative contrivances. As a sequel this leaves a bitter taste.
