Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson are writing the conclusion to the classic Dune series originated By Frank Herbert. They are following the notes and outlines Frank Herbert left behind when he passed away. They are writing the conclusion as a duology, and the first half of that duology will be released this month, August 2006.
The description sounds weird to me.
Quote: Duncan Idaho's ghola, Miles Teg, Sheanna, and a crew of refugees escape the clutches of the ruthless Honored Matres in a no-ship that Duncan has flung into the uncharted galaxy. Though haunted by the memories of his former lover, Murbella, Duncan uses his mentat abilities to steer the no-ship out into the void to outrun the gossamer net of an unknown Enemy.
Back home, Murbella's ambition has helped her become the Mother Commander of the combined Honored Matres and Bene Gesserit sisterhoods. Murbella has what everyone wants: spice. And she intends to sue it to maximize her power.
Uxtal, a low-level Tleilaxu, has somehow survived the Honred Matres' slaughter of his race. They have allowed him to live so that he can use the Tleilaxu's secrets to create spice in teh Axolotl Tanks. Uxtal dos not know how to create spice, but he does make a ghola of Harkonnen...who then escapes.
Back on the no-ship, Duncan and the others mine genetic secrets from the last Tleiaxu master to revive key figures from Dune's past - including Paul Muad'Dib, Lady Jessica, and even Dr. Wellington Yueh.
It will take help on all fronts to overcome an Enemy that has one thing in mind - the final annihilation of the human race...
