Work InformationThe Machine Crusade by Brian Herbert (2003)
![]() Epic Science Fiction (12) No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson continue their tale of the Butlerian Jihad in this second enormous installment of a trilogy. They continue to plant the seeds which will grow into the world of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Some of the characters have become a little repetitive, but overall, it makes for interesting reading if you’ve read the Dune novels. Published in hardcover by Tor. I started to read this book immediately after finishing the first in the series, The Butlerian Jihad.The book starts off about 30 years after the first one, and moves forward pretty rapidly from there. Many of the characters are carried over from the first novel, but adapted and changed by the events that have occurred. Some characters become more sympathetic, one character in particular goes from being a likable hero into an absolute monster. The events in this book are interesting, and it reads well. There are some surprising events that shake things up quite a bit, and some very unexpected deaths at this stage of the series.This book brings many elements more inline with the familair Dune canon, explaining away some things that seemed like inconsistencies. I would still highly recommend the series. no reviews | add a review
