Children of Dune is Book Three in Frank Herbert’s Dune Trilogy, which remains one of the most significant sagas in the history of literary science fiction. The Children of Dune are twins Leto and Ghanima Atreides, whose father Emperor Paul Muad’Dib disappeared in the desert wastelands of Arrakis nine years ago. Like their father, the twins posses supernormal abilities, making them valuable to their aunt Alia, ruler of the Empire in the name of the House Atreides. Facing treason and rebellion, Alia’s reign is troubled. Plotters from the House Corrino attempt to regain the throne, at the same time as the Fremen are being urged into rebellion by The Preacher. Leto and Ghanima have plans of their own, even as their aunt attempts to obtain the secrets of their prophetic visions. Children of Dune combines the threads of ecology and adventure created in the previous two books in the series, leading to a spectacularly satisfying series conclusion.
