About “Mentats Of Dune”

Mentats of Dune is a 2014 science fiction novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, set in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. It is the second book in their Great Schools of Dune prequel trilogy, which follows their Legends of Dune series. The story takes place nearly a century after the events of Dune: The Battle of Corrin and explores the formation of the Bene Gesserit, Mentat, and Suk Schools, as well as the Spacing Guild. These organizations face threats from anti-technology forces rising after the Butlerian Jihad. The Great Schools of Dune trilogy, first mentioned by Anderson in a 2010 blog post, details the early development of these groups, which play key roles in the original Dune novels.
