Heretics of Dune - Miles Teg by Chris McGrath

Is it just me or is Miles Teg what you get when you manage to convince Leto Atreides to sign up for an anger management course but not therapy? Like, congrats, you are now Calm Depressed instead of Angry Depressed.

My memories of Heretics of Dune now are like "500 pages of people sitting in rooms having philosophical conversations, then 30 pages of a guy being captured and interrogated and getting so high on the torture drugs that he learns to access the Speed Force, unlocks his cuffs, and punches the torturer's brain out of his skull."

Miles Teg: “men like big Tiddies, and women like a firm ass”

So real of him

This is that time of the year where people discover my Dune art so

hello

[singull]

wonder how many newbie dune girlies will read the books and actually manage to get to chapterhouse and lose their ever mcloving minds over the shit that goes on in that book.

[phoenix-kite]

I am loving the additions you guys.

Dune Movie Fans

So excited for the people who have never read the books to see Leto the second become a sandworm, Jamis come back as a clone and profess his undying love for Paul, and Alia get possessed by the late Baron Harkonnen.

everyone in the Dune tag is always talking about the Jewish people in Chapterhouse: Dune as if this is the most shocking thing that has ever happened in this series. listen, that's my friend Rebecca and I need you to give her some fucking respect. now can we PLEASE talk about the fact that Miles Teg manifested literal superspeed in two different incarnations and how nobody understands even a little bit how he did that

chapterhouse dune!

- first page and we've already got a miles teg ghola a la duncan, and odrade (now mother superior) quipping about presiding over the birth of her own father. anyone who's made it this far into the series isn't gonna be put off by immediate wild weirdness i guess, and i'm sure not.

- the honoured matres have been going on a death star rampage for several years now, and the bene gesserits are racing to terraform chapterhouse into a dune planet.

- ...fed to captive What, Now??????? frank, is this just outright turning into a porno at this point????????

- there's something bittersweet about how odrade's raising young miles teg as her own, in a way that's still pretty distant and sisterhood-ey but lightyears better than the typical bene gesserit way, all because she's a broken reverend mother - she's got a crack in her chassis that lets the humanity out, just a little, in a way that would never normally be allowed of someone in her position.

- if there's any hope at all for the bene gesserits, it's in odrade and young miles.

- somehow, at some point, scytale has joined the party! i was hoping this old shapeshifter wasn't just a name drop in the last book! they're apparently the last tleilaxu master, though, so that probably implies why they're here.

- duncan and murbella's ♠ thing is apparently still going strong. good for them?

[approximateknowledge]

these movies coming out is having people suddenly dune-post all over this site and it's reawakening my old dormant hyperfixation with the books

and this isn't a good thing because to me the first 3 books feel more like an extended prologue to the *actual* core story happening in the latter 3 books, and mostly the last 2 at that

because i just *know* they're not gonna adapt beyond book 3

God-Emperor is not a cinematographic book, and both Heretics and Chapterhouse would have to be mangled beyond recognition before they have any chance of getting adapted by hollywood (for a bunch of reasons) (seriously whatever you think happens in the last 3 dune books from looking at the first 3, i guarantee you're wrong. they're *different*, they're *weird*, and i personally like them despite their flaws)

and nobody who only saw the movies will know the Peace, or the Famine Times, or the Scattering

no No-tech, no batshit memetics and instinct-manipulation-based population control, no genemodded horrors, no weaponised sex, no mind-transfer

no Siona or Sheeana, or Taraza or Darwi, not the inner logic of Leto II, not Miles Teg who was a child twice

you'll only ever know a paltry 2 Duncan Idaho-iterations

the first 3 books are like a warm-up for the truly weird shit

if you only saw the movies you don't really know Dune

"Nada supera a complexidade da mente humana."

Concluir esse livro é uma experiência realmente fascinante. Os caminhos seguidos pela história nesse volume foram para um lugar bem inesperado para mim. A construção dos impedimentos e as tramas dentro das Bene Gesserit com os outros grupos do Imperium e dos Povos da Dispersão foram incríveis. As batalhas finais nesse volume foram arrebatadoras e fico surpreso ao pensar como o autor estava desenvolvendo tudo isso. Miles Teg e a Madre Superiora Taraza foram sem sombra de dúvidas as personagens que mais me cativaram. Odrade e Duncan não ficam muito atrás. Agora estou ansioso para ler o último volume da segunda trilogia e ver como as coisas se desenrolaram.

Craziest thing when I peeked into Dune fandom online is that lots of fans really really really like Miles Teg and don't give a fuck about Odrade, the protagonist of the third arc of the story. Miles who is Duncan Idaho without his magnetic sexpot attraction.

So I absolutely loved the first two books and really liked children but I've been struggling pretty hard to get through god emperor. In my opinion this is the low point in the series so far. Does it get easier/better in the last 2?

I'd say that's a very common experience. I had a hard time too because i didn't really like the sudden jump forward and all the changes that happened to Arrakis and the empire. Not to mention the god-emperor is creepy af and most of the time you don't get what he's saying.

Just hang in there, the book gets realy weird and i didn't really understand it the first time but rereading the plot on wikipedia and other sources helped me figure out what was going on in that little worm head of leto ii. it's not my favorite either but it has its charms and most importantly it's crucial to understand what happens in the final two books (another time skip incoming)

The last two books are not everyones favorites but personally i liked them, especially Heretics of Dune. They are very much focused on the bene gesserit, with the main characters all being part of the sisterhood, so if you liked them you're in for a ride! and also i like to imagine the atmosphere more gloomy and kind of gothic? but there are also worms and the desert and a lot of elements from the classic dune :)

The novel "Chapterhouse Dune" by Frank Herbert was published for the first time in 1985. It's the sixth book in the Dune saga and follows "Heretics of Dune".

The Honored Matres keep on conquering planets controlled by the Bene Gesserit. Lampadas, where there was an important Sisterhood school, fell and Chancellor Lucilla was only able to share her memories with Rebecca, a Jewish "wild" Reverend Mother. The Jews managed to escape to the planet Gammu but have to hide in a no-chamber.

On the Chapterhouse planet, the Bene Gesserit are trying to replicate the desert of ancient Arrakis to revive the great worms. To try to turn the tide of what seems like a lost war, it's essential to raise a ghola of Bashar Miles Teg but Duncan Idaho has his ideas about the child. Duncan is also taken by his relationship with Murbella, the captured Honored Matre who is on her way to becoming a Reverend Mother after being trained as a Bene Gesserit.
