As a huge fan of Frank Herbert and science fiction in general this is perhaps the best of the Dune series written by the late Herbert. Many millenium after Paul Altreides ascension to Emperor, this follow up of "Dune Heretics" is a must read for anyone who enjoys the possible galactic futures that may engulf mankind. The intense novel that revolves around the Bene Gesserit witches and their unique outlook into the universe of man, as well as their defense of the old empire against a new, almost overwhelming threat, is completely enthralling. The characters are alive, and the descriptions of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood are simply not to be missed. Herbert manages, while showing us clearly the differences and unique talents of the witches, to again give a keen insight into mankind as a whole. I have personally spend many a contented and thought provoking hour re-reading this spectacular novel.Read full review
Chapterhouse is the culmination of almost fifty years of literary expertise. This, the last in the "Dune" franchise, details the time and events 1500 years after the God-Emperor Leto II returns to the sand. It is a time of desperation and intrigue, at time when even the oldest and most insidious of all, the Bene Gesserit are collapsing. In this novel those of the scattering return. The Honored Matres are striking at the door and the universe once again faces a total redistribution of power. Can this be stopped or are the old establishments too corrupt and stagnate to stand up to the plight...
Decent copy. A little sly on not showing the issue with the spine, but I’ll keep it so I don’t have to keep hunting the last book. Thanks.

Item received was a library book. So with all the markings and cover damage item is less valuable for collection series. I was looking to complete this original series without any additional markings, however the contents are what’s important. Just slightly disappointed.

Frank Herbert is a genius! Chapterhouse, like all the Dune novels, is a journey into the relm of Frank Herbert's unbelievable imagination. The magnificent scope of his story telling drives you on page after page. It's difficult to say if Chapterhouse is better than any of the other Dune chronicals that come before it, but it is surely a great Herbert masterpiece.
Only gave a 2 rating , I guess I thought it was going to be more interesting for me. Only my opinion.

well written and keeps you interested. I wanted to read the entire series. This completes the series and I recommend it to anyone who likes Frank Herbert's work
Probably one of the best of the series...I completed my classical Herbert collection of his Dune series.
