Dune Chapterhouse
By Frank Herbert (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1985) At first, Chapterhouse: Dune (a sequel of Dune) by Frank Herbert is confusing. It is almost necessary to read Dune, or watch the movie. I hadn't read Dune before I had started this book, and I was totally confused. I thought about putting the book down, but then I rented Dune. Everything suddenly cleared up. Suddenly, Chapterhouse: Dune became the greatest book I have ever read. The Dune universe is much more complex than most science fiction universes; such as Star Trek. It is filled with alien (human) races, technology that might someday be invented, and a story line that encompasses some 50,000 years. That is one huge feature about Chapterhouse: Dune, there is a history that you can learn about from other Dune books. Unlike in other science fiction books, where the back story is the back cover.
There is only one, and that is the problem. Other Memory is where memories of other people before them are implanted into their brain. Chapterhouse: Dune is an extremely long book. The whole story is based on one massive complex known as Chapterhouse. The Honored Matres are lead by a bloodthirsty, extremely violent man known only as the Great Honored Matre. But it is hard for him to achieve this goal. I would not even recommend this book to most teenagers. A thing that I really liked about Chapterhouse: Dune is the realistic conflicts. Chapterhouse is the primary headquarters of the Bene Gesserit. I figure that if it were in normal paperback book size, it would be some eight hundred pages long. It is located on the planet of Arrakis, also known as Dune. I strongly recommend Chapterhouse: Dune for anyone who actually has the time to read it. The Scattering occurred when the emperor Leto II died after his 3,500-year-old rule. Scytale since he is a Mentat, strives to attain information.
