Summary
The first battle was a victory. But the war is just beginning....
Earth is a radioactive ruin. But the initial campaign of the Butlerian Jihad has given new hope to mankind. Serena Butler, whose murdered child has become a symbol for oppressed humanity, inspires a war against the thinking computers led by Xavier Harkonnen and Vorian Atreides. But four of the Titans - murderous machines with human brains and human cunning - still remain. And the universal computer mind, Omnius, still wields most of its power.

Excellent!!
Another masterpiece for the extended Dune universe. Scott Brick is incredible as always and still remains my all time favourite narrator. I’m straight on to the third book in this trilogy and can’t wait. Enjoy!

Absolutely brilliant
An absolute gem. Superb, thought provoking sci-fi filled with complex characters and plots. Can’t wait to start on the next book in the trilogy

Scott Brick is back!
A much improved performance from Scott Brick. It's perhaps not surprising as it's a much better story than it's prequel, the Butlerian Jihad, which was a rather bland tale altogether and didn't seem to inspire him.
This one is less Warhammer and more Dune. I liked it and, whilst political maneuvering and basic plot intrigue are still somewhat overshadowed by warfare and graphic descriptions of mutilation, you do have to remember that's what this trilogy is all about, viz. the war against the Machines!
In summary, still not up to "Prelude Trilogy" standards but good entertainment and well worth the money, especially for Dune fans.

More background information
Well read story about adding to an already well built universe, it may not have the punch of the original work, but still it is a worthy addition.

Brilliant and better than Dune
I love all the books by Brian Herbert & K Anderson. The story, characters are engaging and I prefer the books by B Herbert and K Anderson. Frank Herbert developed Dune and the story but his books moving forward are tedious and I gave most of them back. His son Brian with K Anderson explain much and fill in 1000s of gaps...they are better story tellers and the books grip you from the beginning.

Musical interludes
Unfortunately someone thought it a great idea to ad musical interludes which were in my opinion unnecessary and annoying, but they stopped at some point.
Other than that scott Brick gives a great performance as usual and I wouldn’t want anyone else to read any dune series book.
