    Herbert’s latest novel (after the . . . Dune titles coauthored with Kevin J. Anderson) launches a new SF adventure saga set in a universe of Byzantine human politics, rivalries with alien species, and an unfolding catastrophe at the center of the universe. Like his father (Frank Herbert), Herbert demonstrates his skill as a convincing storyteller with a talent for creating intriguing alien species and admirable heroes . . . (a) promising beginning to a panoramic, far-future series . . .
