The novel “Hunters of Dune” by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson was published for the first time in 2006. It’s the seventh book in the Dune saga and follows “Chapterhouse Dune”.

The crew of the enormous no-ship named Ithaca continues its efforts to outrun the mysterious Enemy who seems determined to capture it. Scytale, the Tleilaxu master held prisoner on the Ithaca, has one last trick up his sleeve to improve his situation.

Murbella continues the complex work of creating a united sisterhood that includes the Bene Gesserit and the Honored Matres who have agreed to follow her. There’s a lot of internal friction and external enemies that make the situation tense on Chapterhouse. Murbella seeks to understand the nature of the Enemy and at the same time strike at the Honored Matres who are still independent, starting with those on Tleilax.
