Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 551
In a desperate fight, we captured one of the machine empire’s factory planets. Can we now defeat an interstellar superpower that has exterminated thousands of sentient races across the galaxy and slaughtered billions of us in the solar system? Not bloody likely, but Captain Jon Hawkins is on a mission. Using new warships from the factory planet, he’s searching for alien allies, more battle stations to storm, and death machines to kill. He’s buying us time to turn the solar system into a fortress...if he can stay alive long enough.

Quality is going down into the "void"
Revisado: 10-28-18
I like the series overall, but dammit, how many times can you use the "brain tap" device as the source of the problems that come up in the story? Common sense dictates to either destroy the device or disable the damn things. Lazy writing...

A dirty deal was struck. Humanity was allowed to keep 300 rebellious worlds. In return, we declared war on a powerful enemy from beyond the frontier. A frantic build-up of forces has begun, but the task is hopeless. Seeking allies, Earth's legions are sent to Blood World. A planet on the fringe of known space, where the people only respect masters of combat. Earth's Legions must impress them, but other alien powers have been invited to join the contest. The prize consists of billions of loyal troops - Earth must win.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

Fifty-six hard years after the events of The Machine Crusade, after the death of Serena Butler, the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. The human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight.

Meh!

Too simplistic and predictable. I think the goal was to "dumb it down" for the masses and it's a shame. There was some real good material to use.
In an interview recorded and added to the audio book version, the co-author Kevin Anderson, who has written several Star Wars books, states that when his fans found out he would be writing additional Dune Series novels, his fans mentioned that they had shied away from reading the Dune Series because they were too complex. You see where I'm getting at, right?
I'm not knocking the authors, but I can't shake off the impression that these books were an attempt to milk some more money out of us. I get it, I'm a capitalist too. :-)
I didn't expect this trilogy to be on par with Frank Herbert's previous works, but I did expect a better story than the norm. I'm not sure I'll pick up any additional Dune related books in the furure. I invested in the trilogy only to hear some of the origin stories often alluded to in the original series. When I read the first book (Butlerian Jihad), I started suspecting how the trilogy was going to go and it was down hill. Sorry guys! <= To the co-authors... Just providing constructive feedback.
The original Frank Herbert series really stood out for its many levels of complexity and a great story.

Frank Herbert's Dune is one of the grandest epics in the annals of imaginative literature. Now Herbert's son, Brian, working with Kevin J. Anderson and using Frank Herbert's own notes, reveals a pivotal epoch in the history of the Dune universe: the Butlerian Jihad, the war that was fought ten thousand years before the events of Dune - the war in which humans wrested their freedom from "thinking machines."

A good listen, but nothing like Frank Herbert.

Scott Brick is awesome, as always. He definately made the story much more enriching than you would expect for a somewhat average story.
