SISTERHOOD OF DUNE—hardcover dustjacket UK
Today they were enduring another funeral for a dead Sister, one more tragic death from poison…another failure to create the second Reverend Mother.
Crisis. Survival. Advancement.
Raquella didn’t know how many more lives she could justify losing in order to reach the elusive goal. Optimistic and determined, her best trainees continued to believe in her.
And they died.
Hardcover HELLHOLE 1st Editions for only $1.77
Call it a loss-leader. Or a glitch. Or over-enthusiastic lowest-price-matching bots having a duel between bookstores. Whatever the reason, amazon is having a ridiculous sale on my novel HELLHOLE with Brian Herbert. The novel—new, hardcover, first editions—is selling for only $1.77 (and free shipping if you’re an amazon Prime customer).
First Review of SISTERHOOD OF DUNE
Publishers Weekly gives Sisterhood of Dune a thumbs up, calling it a “fun blend of space opera and dynastic soap opera” that “zips along faster than light.”
