This was better than the previous two books in this Legends of Dune Trilogy. I found the pacing better and the plot more engaging in The Battle of Corrin than in either The Butlerian Jihad or The Machine Crusade. Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson threw in a couple of nice twists before the end of the book and clearly set up the possibility that humanity will still need to deal with thinking machines in the future despite their victory on Corrin. But this is still not as good as the original six Dune books authored by Frank Herbert. ( )
Ce troisième et dernier roman de la série Dune, la génèse, est moins bon que les deux qui le précèdent. Tout d'abord, le roman couvre deux années du conflit entre les humains et les machines pensantes, séparées de dix-neuf ans. Il se passe énormément de choses durant ces deux années et étonnamment, rien dans les dix-neuf qui les séparent ! Cette différence est trop importante pour être crédible. La crédibilité, c'est aussi ce qui pêche dans la résolution de nombreux fils d'intrigue. Les différents protagonistes ne semblent agir que lorsque les auteurs mettent leur focus dessus, et rester ensuite inertes jusqu'à leur prochaine mise en avant. Cette fin de trilogie est donc une petite déception. ( )
A satisfying finish to this prequel trilogy. The spice navigators are started, the Bene Gesserit truly start, the Fremen start and House Corrino comes into existance.You see the beginning of the Face Dancers, cool stuff. The Titans are destroyed, along with the last Omnius incarnation. The Harkonnen betrayal is shown. So many question left tho. I am hoping for more! ( )

Während Imperien aufstiegen und untergingen, wandte Arrakis, der Wüstenplanet, dem Universum unerschütterlich sein Gesicht zu.
