Paul's sister, Alia, sits as regent on the throne, but her position is threatened by rebellious forces and her own deteriorating mental health. Meanwhile, Paul's young twins, Leto II and Ghanima, both of whom have supernatural abilities, attempt to navigate the dangerous political landscape and bring about their plans for the betterment of the empire. Children of Dune was the first hardcover bestseller in the science fiction genre and was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1977. Originally released as a five-part serial in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, it was the last Dune novel that was initially serialized. Upon release of the book, Publisher's Weekly wrote, "Ranging from palace intrigue and desert chases to religious speculation and confrontations with the supreme intelligence of the universe, there is something here for all science fiction fans."
