Sands of Dune

The world of Dune has shaped an entire generation of science fiction. From the sand-blasted world of Arrakis, to the splendor of the imperials homeworld of Kaitain, readers have lived in a universe of treachery and wonder. Now, collected for the first time, are three previously unpublished Dune stories that shine a light upon the darker corners of the Dune universe. Spanning space and time, this collection is essential reading for any Dune fan. The stories: the lost years of Gurney Halleck as he works with smugglers on Arrakis in a deadly gambit for revenge; inside the ranks of the Sardaukar as the child of a betrayed nobleman becomes one of the Emperor’s most ruthless fighters; a young firebrand Fremen woman, a guerrilla fighter against the ruthless Harkonnens, who will one day become Shadout Mapes.
