Dune: Edge of a Crysknife

Description

Dune: Edge of a Crysknife expands the legendary Dune universe with two new stories of mystery, rebellion, and the Fremen's fight for survival. Based on the expanded Arrakis world by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, this collection reveals another crucial angle from the rich history of "Dune."

Beneath the desert sands lies more than just spice treasures. In this volume, readers will get to know the stories of Shadout Mapes and her son Samos – characters whose lives are shaped by honor, revenge, and the fight against oppressors.

In the first story, Fremen warriors infiltrate the Harkonnen forces and carry out a dangerous sabotage operation against their spice mining plans. In the second, open warfare erupts as the Fremen face their enemies with the full force of desert fury and the legend of Shai-Hulud on their side.

A stunning illustrated collection that blends political intrigue, desert culture, and the classic Dune theme of survival.
