This overall narrative arc is interesting and it is better than the previous book, The Butlerian Jihad, but there were logical inconsistencies that bothered me. One of them was the sense that Herbert and Anderson give that traditional space travel takes time between stars yet every now and then when it is convenient to the narrative they make it seem that it is of no consequence for a space ship to change course and go someplace else in an inconsequential amount of time. In addition, the cogitors and cymeks are disembodied brains and thinking machines are artificial intelligences, yet they are written as if the brains or central processing units themselves have eyes. Why would a brain need to elevate itself to look a human in the eye? Why could they not simply use a photosensitive circuit on an elevating arm do the looking for them? There are other weird examples like that in the book but those are the two that come to mind. As a result this book is really science fantasy rather than science fiction. ( ) Ce deuxième roman de la série Dune, la genèse continue à mettre en place les différents éléments qui, plus de dix mille ans plus tard, aboutiront aux événements décrits dans le roman Dune. La lecture est toujours agréable même si les machines paraissent très timorées et auraient gagnées à être plus développées par les auteurs. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson continue their tale of the Butlerian Jihad in this second enormous installment of a trilogy. They continue to plant the seeds which will grow into the world of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Some of the characters have become a little repetitive, but overall, it makes for interesting reading if you’ve read the Dune novels.
