Bolee dvadtsati let minulo s togo dnja, kogda nachalsja Svjaschennyj Batlerianskij dzhikhad. Sily ljudej postepenno krepnut, odnako mysljaschie mashiny ne sdajutsja: oni namereny vernut vlast svoemu besposchadnomu predvoditelju Omniusu.Grjadut bitvy, ravnykh kotorym Vselennaja esche ne videla. Nastalo vremja velikikh zhertv i velikikh podvigov vo imja svobody i torzhestva chelovecheskogo razuma.

"Mentaty Djuny" - vtoroj roman trilogii, povestvujuschej o Velikikh shkolakh, kotorye sygrali vazhnuju rol v istorii Pola Atrejdesa i navsegda izmenili oblik Arrakisa.Posledovateli vozhdja batlerianskogo dvizhenija Manforda Torondo prodolzhajut svoe krovavoe shestvie po Vselennoj, razyskivaja ostavshikhsja apologetov mysljaschikh mashin. Gde ta tonkaja gran, kotoraja otdeljaet predannoe sluzhenie obschemu delu ot slepogo fanatizma? Smogut li mentaty - ljudi-kompjutery - otstojat svoe pravo na suschestvovanie v novom mire i najti sposob sokhranit tsivilizatsiju?

Za desjat tysjacheletij do sobytij, razvorachivajuschikhsja v "Djune", zadolgo do rozhdenija i votsarenija Muad'Diba dvadtsat otchajannykh umov zakhvatili vlast v Staroj Imperii, vospolzovavshis zavisimostju ljudej ot tekhnologij i nadeliv mashiny moguchim intellektom. Tak nachalos mnogovekovoe gospodstvo mysljaschikh robotov pod rukovodstvom zhestokogo vsemirnogo razuma Omniusa.Nesmotrja na neprekraschajuschujusja krovoprolitnuju borbu, ostalis te, kto prodolzhaet soprotivljatsja. V rjadakh unizhennogo, no ne slomlennogo chelovechestva zreet vosstanie, kotoroe vyletsja v neprimirimyj Batlerianskij dzhikhad - Velikij perevorot, izmenivshij khod istorii Arrakisa i vsej Vselennoj.

"Orden sester" - roman, otkryvajuschij trilogiju "Velikie shkoly Djuny" i rasskazyvajuschij predystoriju Ordena Bine Gesserit, odnoj iz neskolkikh moguschestvennejshikh organizatsij, predopredelivshikh buduschee Pola Atrejdesa i povlijavshikh na sudby Vselennoj.Posle krovavoj bitvy, v khode kotoroj byli unichtozheny poslednie mysljaschie mashiny, kontroliruemye vsemirnym razumom Omniusom, proshlo vosemdesjat tri goda. Mir vse esche ne opravilsja ot strashnykh ran, nanesennykh porabotiteljami, i vot uzhe priblizhaetsja novoe srazhenie. V smertelnoj skhvatke skhlestnutsja zaschitniki nauchno-tekhnicheskogo progressa i storonniki batlerianskogo dvizhenija.Zametno okrepshemu zagadochnomu Ordenu sester predstoit reshit, chju zhe storonu prinjat v nazrevajuschej vojne.
