A partir de ahora, la leyenda se hace realidad. El universo creado por Frank Herbert en su aclamada serie Dune, seguida por millones de lectores en todo el mundo, se amplÃa para descubrirnos, por primera vez, el episodio que le dio origen.
Diez mil años antes del nacimiento de Paul Atreides, del derrocamiento de un imperio, los últimos humanos libres se rebelaron contra el dominio de las poderosas máquinas que los habÃan esclavizado. En Dune. La Yihad Butleriana se revela la historia de Serena Butler, la mujer que prendió la llama de esa rebelión. Se destapa la traición que convertirÃa en enemigos mortales a la Casa Atreides y la Casa Harkonnen. Se desvelan los orÃgenes de la hermandad Bene Gesserit, de los doctores Suk, de la Orden de los Mentat y la CofradÃa Espacial. Y aparece un planeta olvidado, Arrakis, donde acaba de descubrirse la melange, la especia que puede cambiar el destino de miles de planetas... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Legends of Dune: The Butlerian Jihad began in the Time of Tyrants, when ambitious men and women used high-powered computers to seize control of the heart of the Old Empire including Earth itself. The tyrants translated their brains into mobile mechanical bodies and created a new race, the immortal man-machine hybrids called cymeks. Then the cymeks' world-controlling planetary computers, each known as Omnius, seized control from their overlords and a thousand years of brutal rule by the thinking machines began. The human race still clings to life. Some, like idealistic Serena Butler of the free planet Salusa Secundus and her betrothed, the soldier Xavier Harkonnen, even dream of overthrowing the machines and freeing their human slaves. Others, like Vorian Atreides, bastard son of the cymek Agamemnon, are proud to serve the machines. But their world faces disaster. Impatient with human beings' endless disobedience and the cymeks' continual plotting to regain their power, Omnius has decided that it no longer needs them. Only victory can save the human race from extermination. Throughout the Dune novels, Frank Herbert frequently referred to the war in which humans wrested their freedom from thinking machines. In Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring to life the story of that war, a tale previously seen only in tantalizing hints and clues. Finally, we see how Serena Butler's passionate grief ignites the struggle that will liberate humans from their machine masters; here is the amazing tale of the Zensunni Wanderers, who escape bondage to flee to the desert world where they will declare themselves the Free Men of Dune. And here is the backward, nearly forgotten planet of Arrakis, where traders have discovered the remarkable properties of the spice melange....
