Mentats of Dune
Book • 2014
In *Mentats of Dune*, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson continue the story of the Dune universe, focusing on the founding of the Mentat School by Gilbertus Albans.
The Mentats are humans trained to think like computers, a necessity after the Butlerian Jihad banned thinking machines.
The book explores the power struggle between the weak Corrino Empire, the Venport Spacing Fleet, and the Butlerian fanatics led by Manford Torondo.
It also delves into the rebuilding of the Sisterhood School on Wallach IX and the vendetta of Valya Harkonnen against Vorian Atreides.
The narrative is rich in ideas, character development, and the complex politics of the Dune universe.
