User Reviews

A good conclusion to an epic science fiction trilogy.  
"The Battle of Corrin" is the last of the Butlerian Jihad trilogy preceded by "The Butlerian Jihad" and "The Machine Crusade." Like the first two it tells part of the history leading to Frank Herberts Dune novels. The main theme is the struggle of humanity versus an empire of thinking machines.

Despite getting only four stars from me this trilogy is a good example of space opera. It demonstrates how written words can serve as a portal to interesting events and worlds that would be inaccessible without written words. Characteristic of space opera your spirit will be immersed in science-fiction action but it will also be immersed in political intrigue drama passion and some of the male-female stuff that most authors refer to as "romance." (Yet these books have almost no sex.) The ending for "The Battle of Corrin" wraps up the story neatly and though you should read the first two volumes I suppose you could be satisfied with only this last one.

Uninspired  
Like several other reviews for this product this review is more a review for the entire trilogy than for the Battle of Corrin in particular.

I like the Dune series a lot. The first book by Frank Herbert is one of the greatest sci-fi/fantasy novels of all time. I say "fantasy" because as a work of "soft" sci-fi Dune displays many characteristics of fantasy.

Although I contend that Frank Herbert never managed to recapture the greatness of the original in the later books there is no doubt that he was a tremendously intelligent and skilled writer. His talent still shines in Dune Messiah through Chapterhouse.

The Butlerian Jihad had a lot of potential to be made into a great story. I do not pretend to know how Frank Herbert would have handled this subject matter if at all so Ill try to critique this series on its own merits. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are NOT good writers. The writing throughout this trilogy is very very bland. The characte :2010-09-15 10:25:13

The Trilogy Comes to an End  
The final book in the trilogy ties up all the loose ends. In this one we see how the Bene Gesserit started their breeding programs how mentats came about and the beginnings of the Spacing Guild. Unlike the previous books in the trilogy this one picks up speed at about half way through the book. There are a number of stories which must be brought to their conclusion. The ending of this book leaves open the possibility of continuing the story surrounding Omnius and Erasmus. I believe they will make an appearance in Dune 7 and 8. Like the previous books in the series this one lacks the "feel" of the original Dune novels but it still makes for good sci-fi reading :2010-09-15 10:25:13

Hard to put down  
It has been fifty-six hard years since the events of "The Machine Crusade" Following the death of Serena Butler the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. Synchronized Worlds and Unallied Planets are liberated one by one and at long last after years of victory the human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight.Unfortunately Omnius has one last deadly card to play. In a last-ditch effort to destroy humankind virulent plagues are let loose throughout the galaxy decimating the populations of whole planets . . . and once again the tide of the titanic struggle shifts against the warriors of the human race. At last the war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin.In the greatest battle in science fiction history human and machine face off one last time. . . . And on the desert planet of Arrakis the legendary Fremen of Dune become the feared fighting force to be discovered by P :2010-09-15 10:25:13
