Generations of a tormented human-alien people, caged on a toxic planet, conditioned by constant hunger and war—this is the Dosadi Experiment, and it has succeeded too well. For the Dosadi have bred for vengeance as well as cunning, and they have learned how to pass through the shimmering God Wall to exact their dreadful revenge on the Universe that created them...

"This is better than Dune. Really. While Dune is an epic story in Messiah-form, Dosadi Experiment can be Earth (if not for space exploration). Concentrated in smaller scenes and with fewer characters, Herbert has succeeded in fully developing his characters and expanding the Courtarena properly. I am now a firm believer in Gowachin Law: Justice cannot be obtained if all the participants are not risking their lives. The small collection of species and the fantastic conclusion only confirmed this book's, place in my 're-read' collection. Kudos Herbert, Dune is outdone."

    " Just finished this sequel to the Whipping Star. A good book, but hard to follow. Herbert has some amazing ideas about science fiction, but it is sometimes difficult for the reader to keep up with him. If you want to knock the cobwebs out of your noggin, this might be a good book to start with. "
