Dune 7: Advent

[Gobalopper]

Marco van Leeuwen has uploaded his Dune fan fiction, entitled Dune 7: Advent, to the web. The story is just over 40 chapters long, about 150 pages, and covers what "could" happen in the 7th Dune novel. Below is a caption, a little long, but it gives a good overview of the story:

Five thousand years ago on the desert planet ARRAKIS (also known as DUNE), Paul Atreides fulfilled two separate prophecies: he was the KWISATZ HADERACH - the product of the breeding program of the BENE GESSERIT sisterhood -, as well as the long-awaited messiah that would free the people of Dune, the FREMEN, from the oppression they had been subject to for many generations. The Jihad he unleashed on the galaxy was unprecedented in its ferocity, only to be overshadowed by the cruelty of the GOLDEN PATH of his son Leto II - The God Emperor. A symbiosis with sandtrout, the larva-stage of Dune's giant sandworms, allowed him to rule for over 35 centuries, and turn the course of humanity away from the armageddon he had seen in his visions. After his death the Empire crumbled, and its inhabitants spread far beyond the boundaries of the known universe: the SCATTERING. Recently, Dune was destroyed by a new breed of humans from the Scattering, the HONOURED MATRES. Now a fragile alliance between these fearsome women and the Bene Gesserit has been formed, but both internal and external forces are threatening to upset the balance. In addition, two people vital to the sisterhood's plans, Duncan Idaho and Sheeana, are lost in an unknown region of the universe, the mysterious power that chased the Honoured Matres back to the Old Empire is coming ever closer, and now even more factions are preparing to execute the plans they've been preparing.

All the lines are converging
