The Machine Crusade (Legends of Dune #2) by Brian Herbert & Kevin J Anderson

LEGENDS OF DUNE 2

The first battle was a victory.
But the war is just beginning . . .

THE MACHINE CRUSADE

Earth is a radioactive ruin.   But the initial campaign of the Butlerian Jihad has given new hope to mankind.   Where once all-powerful machines ruled, free humanity - inspired by Serena Butler, whose murdered child has become a symbol of the oppressed - unites for war against the thinking computers.

The authors of PRELUDE TO DUNE have turned to a new and pivotal epoch in the history of the DUNE universe to tell the story most eagerly anticipated by its readers.
