Heretics of Dune (Dune #5) by Frank Herbert

2018-07-30

Finished Heretics of Dune, where whores from outer space threaten humanity with orgasmic amplification – but, luckily for the Bene Gessirit they have created a man irresistible to women who can turn the ecstasy of vaginal pulsation against the user.

Seriously. It’s all there in the book – though luckily it’s mostly just talked about rather than described.

Actually, there’s a lot of talking in this book. A lot of talking.

And there’s hundreds of pages about a couple of people trying to meet up to escape a planet, with lots of wandering, conversations, and descriptions – only for the last chapter to suddenly announce that, yes indeed they had met up and escaped, the end.

Children and God Emperor had their moments, but I suspect Chapter House Dune will continue to be a car crash in very slow motion.

Rating: 2/5
