The Bene Tleilaxu, the planet Rakis, and many other planets, organizations, and people are destroyed by the Venerable Matrons. The Bene Gesserit manage to reproduce the ghola of the fallen warlord Teg, Sheana becomes the youngest Reverend Mother in history, and Murbella is trained to also become a Reverend Mother. All of these are part of the plan of the Supreme Mother Darvi Odrade. A plan that is the only way to survive under the merciless onslaught of the Venerable Matrons. But new factors intervene - mysterious Trainers, futars, biological weapons, the Network and someone else. The limitless Universe continues to surprise and frighten. But the goal remains the same: to survive. It’s just very difficult to achieve it. It’s scary to face danger, but sometimes you have to meet it halfway. This book, unfortunately, became the last in the series, although such a role was not assigned to it, because the beautiful cliffhanger and sad dedication to the deceased wife do not at all look like a point in the story. Alas, even the creators of immortal works are mortal.
