dune prophecy

The inspiration for the HBO original series DUNE: PROPHECY, coming Fall 2024 ! It is 83 years after the last thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of a new Imperium. The war hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on politics and Salusa Secundus. The descendants of the disgraced Abulurd Harkonnen have sworn vengeance against Vor, blaming him for the downfall of their noble family. Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Bene Gesserit School and, through a terrible ordeal, has become the first Reverend Mother. The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva use mutated, spice-saturated Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners. And Gilbertus Albans, ward of the hated thinking machine Erasmus, is teaching humans to become Mentats...while hiding an unbelievable secret. Led by the fanatic Manford Torondo, the Butlerian movement, fiercely opposed to all forms of "dangerous technology," sweeps across the known universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its path.

In twee delen verfilmd met Timothée Chalamet en Zendaya! Kijk nu ook: 'Dune: Prophecy' op MAX, een zesdelige miniserie over de mysterieuze Gene Besserit. Het leven van Paul, van het nobele huis Atreides, verandert drastisch na het vertrek van zijn thuisplaneet Caladan. De keizer heeft zijn vader, Hertog Leto, het gouverneurschap van de weerbarstige woestijnplaneet Arrakis aangeboden. Maar is het een eervolle promotie of een manier om van de machtige familie af te komen? Arrakis, beter bekend als Duin, is de enige planeet waar de specie melange voorkomt, een drug die stimulerend werkt en daardoor cruciaal is om in de ruimte te kunnen navigeren. Er zijn daarom meer kapers op de kust en huis Atreides wordt van alle kanten bedreigd. Uiteindelijk vlucht Paul de woestijn in, waar mysterieuze en gevaarlijke Vrijmans en monsterlijke zandwormen op de loer liggen. De voorspellingen over Pauls leven komen een voor een uit, en de strijd om de macht over Duin en het heelal begint... De epische vertelling in 6 titels over huis Atreides, huis Harkonnen, de verslavende specie melange en zandwormen op de planeet Duin begint bij dit eerste deel. 'Duin' werd met een Nebula Award (1965) en Hugo Award (1966) bekroond en is een van standaardwerken in de sciencefiction. Op dit boek zijn diverse films en televisie series, diverse bordspellen en verschillende computergames gebaseerd.

Frank Herbert's Dune series is one of the grandest epics in the annals of imaginative literature. Selling millions of copies worldwide, the series is science fiction's answer to The Lord of the Rings, a brilliantly imaginative epic of high adventure, unforgettable characters, and immense scope. Set between Frank Herbert's Dune and Dune Messiah, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Paul of Dune explores the Maud'Dib's evolution from savior to emperor to tyrant. A must-read before the events of Dune Messiah! At the conclusion of DUNE, Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides gathered his Fremen warriors and embarked on a great prophecy-driven jihad that will sweep across the Imperium. Paul of Dune is the epic story of that struggle: the planet-spanning battles, the breathtaking discoveries, the bloody treacheries. As the Fremen legions march from victory to victory, far from their beloved desert homeworld of Dune, Paul's rule becomes harsher. Betrayals harden his spirit, old allies become enemies, and the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and the remnants of Shaddam's Imperium work to bring about his downfall. And Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? He must rely on his beloved Chani, his loyal friend Gurney Halleck, and his mother Jessica and sister Alia to survive.

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Book Riot Dune meets Wool in this high-octane quest through the void, where two eternal forces are about to collide in an epic showdown. A HALF-FORMED UNIVERSE. A POWERFUL ANOMALY. A POEM THAT IS PROPHECY. When the Sinker was a child, all she knew was violence. To survive, she fled into the Void—a seemingly infinite nothingness where people live on “rocks;” individual lands spread out in all directions, floating in the vast empty space. Some rocks are giant magnets, others burn with eternal flame, and some are influenced by seemingly magical anomalies with such great powers that evil forces would stop at nothing to possess them. And while most are afraid of traveling through the Void, the Sinker is not. With a sword on her back, she speeds through the darkness, running from a past that is quickly gaining on her. Emery only knows the comfort of Fairviel, but when her son falls ill and the Sinker arrives on her doorstep, she ventures into the Void in search of a cure. When she returns, Fairviel is destroyed. With no home, Emery begins to sink, chasing a recurring dream that feels bigger than a dream, that feels like the key to everything. But they are not alone in the Void. Mercenaries rise and fall around them, princes and kings guard their kingdoms, and a great machine fuels its ascent by consuming all in its path. With the Void destabilizing, Emery and the Sinker find themselves at a turning point in history, a moment when everything could collapse or realign, and the only thing that may save them exists at the bottom of it all. Or so legend says…

Aus dem Inhalt der Ausgabe: Mille Petrozza und morbide Meister aus Wien: Wer dachte, die Festivalsaison sei schon wild gewesen, der sollte sich warm anziehen. Die neue Legacy-Ausgabe #158 liefert auf satten 14 Seiten eine umfassende und detaillierte Titelstory zu Mille Petrozza, seines Zeichens Mastermind hinter Kreator – und noch viel mehr! Im Mittelpunkt: Ein großes, exklusives Interview mit dem Thrash-Mastermind über Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und zwei brandaktuelle Herzensprojekte – die Kinodokumentation „Hate & Hope“ sowie das autobiografische Buch „Your Heaven, My Hell“. Ergänzt wird das lange Gespräch durch Interviews mit Buchautor Torsten Groß, Filmregisseurin Cordula Kablitz-Post sowie – für Thrash-Fans besonders relevant – eine exklusive Tribute-CD mit elf der eindrucksvollsten Kreator-Coverversionen von Szenegrößen aus aller Welt: Napalm Death, Enthroned, Phantom Corporation, Necrodeath und viele mehr geben sich die Klinke in die Hand. Ein zweites Highlight: das tiefgehende Special zu den legendären österreichischen Death-Metallern Pungent Stench. In einem seltenen, ausführlichen Gespräch öffnet Rector Stench die Türen zu seinem Totem-Laden in Wien und gewährt ebenso persönliche wie bizarre Einblicke in die düstere Historie der Band. Ergänzt wird das Special durch ein separates Interview mit Martin sowie eine ausführliche Analyse der zentralen Werke der Skandal-Truppe – verstörend und faszinierend zugleich! Natürlich war das Legacy-Team auch in diesem Sommer wieder auf sämtlichen großen Schlachtfeldern der Szene unterwegs – vom Party.San über das Summer Breeze bis hin zum Masters Of Rock. Dank einer eindrucksvollen Vor-Ort-Präsenz gibt es umfangreiche Festival-Reports, Hintergrundinfos und jede Menge Bilder. Und das war nur der Anfang: Auch auf den Social-Media-Kanälen von Legacy tobt die Nachlese – mit noch mehr Eindrücken von weiteren Open-Airs, Clubshows und Überraschungsauftritten. Im Soundcheck schoben sich dieses Mal Novembers Doom mit einem melancholischen Meisterwerk an die Spitze. Sänger Paul Kuhr bezeichnet das Album im Interview als „die Vertonung meines kaputten Hirns“ – und trifft damit genau den Ton eines Werks, das tief unter die Haut geht. Dicht gefolgt von Scorpion Milk, dem neuen Projekt von Mat McNerney, der mit dystopischem Post-Punk und zynischer Poesie einen ganz eigenen Weg beschreitet. Weitere Hochkaräter im Heft: Biohazard, Amorphis, Rage, Helloween, Knorkator, Bonginator – und viele mehr … PLUS 1.

In a kingdom where flames hold magic and the desert hides secrets, an ancient prophecy comes for an assassin, a princess, and a king. But none are ready to face destiny-and the choices they make could burn the world. "If we carry the burdens of our fathers, we'll never know what it means to be free." For Elena Aadya Ravence, fire is yearning. She longs to feel worthy of her Phoenix god, of her ancestors who transformed the barren dunes of Sayon into a thriving kingdom. But though she knows the ways and wiles of the desert better than she knows her own skin, the secrets of the Eternal Flame elude her. And without them, she'll never be accepted as queen. For Leo Malhari Ravence, fire is control. He is not ready to give up his crown-there's still too much work to be done to ensure his legacy remains untarnished, his family protected. But power comes with a price, and he'll wage war with the heavens themselves to keep from paying it. For Yassen Knight, fire is redemption. He dreams of shedding his past as one of Sayon's most deadly assassins, of laying to rest the ghosts of those he has lost. If joining the court of flame and serving the royal Ravence family-the very people he once swore to eliminate-will earn him that, he'll do it no matter what they ask of him. But the Phoenix watches over all and the fire has a will of its own. It will come for all three, will come for Sayon itself....and they must either find a way to withstand the blaze or burn to ash.
