2.5 stars. Final review, first posted on Fantasy Literature:
“Dune: Red Plague” is a brief episode in an ongoing conflict in the DUNE series universe between an anti-technology group, led by Manford Torondo, and pro-technology people, personified by Josef Venport, the selfish CEO Directeur of Venport Holdings, a huge interstellar commercial empire with a large fleet of spaceships. Manford lost his legs in a bombing that killed his inspiration and mentor, Rayna Butler, and he views himself as responsible for leading humanity away from the temptations of technology. Venport, who cruelly calls Manford a “legless freak” and the “barbarian half-Manford”, considers the Butlerian group a bunch of zealots who want to “reduce humanity to a primitive agrarian culture scattered across the galaxy.” Venport has blockaded the planets that have taken the Butlerian pledge.
However, the anti-tech people on one planet, Walgis, are dying of the terrible Red Plague. Dr. Rohan Zim, an altruistic Suk doctor, convinces Venport ― with a fair amount of difficulty ― to loan one of the Venport spaceships to him to bring a life-saving vaccine to the people of Walgis, arguing that maybe it will change their minds about the benefits of technology and will make Venport look humane.
It’s a rather confusing and opaque world if you’re not already familiar with the DUNE universe and how it’s developed under the authorship of Brian Herbert (Frank Herbert’s son) and Kevin J. Anderson. Words and concepts like Mentat, Suk doctor and Butlerian creed play a significant role but often get little or no explanation. I dimly remember these things from reading Dune years ago, but I think a reader would have to know this universe and the later entries in this series a lot better to make this story work for you, and even then, it’s a thin, rather predictable tale, and isn’t a complete story in itself. “Dune: Red Plague” probably won’t be of much interest to anyone except fans of the ongoing DUNE series.

Disclaimer!!! This review is written by an unapologetic and wholly illogical Dune fan who hopes one day to be considered a Dune aficionado.
Brian and Kevin’s latest excellent adventure expanding Frank’s genius vision is a short story published in November 2016 by Tor.com.
Disclaimer!!! This review is written by a rabid Tor.com fan who thinks this site is the coolest thing since the Falcon made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.
Written some time after the Butlerian Jihad, this concerns an attempt by an evil thinking machines proponent to provide assistance to a disease-ravaged planet on the side of the Butlerians.
I’ve read Frank’s original six and then the next two by Brian / Kevin so I can follow along with the terminology and am for the most part picking up what the collaborators are throwing down. This makes me want to further explore their expansion on Frank’s awesomeness.

The Red Plague is a followup short story to the Schools of Dune trilogy which ended with Navigators of Dune. As the story opens we find that Josf Venport is being asked to help out a colony planet that had turned its back on technology, we also learn that the leader of the opposing force that has blockaded that planet has gone to join his fleet. I won't give away the ending but this story makes me want more Dune and I'm still looking forward to the two Leto II books that are supposed to bridge Children of Dune to God Emperor of Dune. Pick this story up you won't be disappointed.

This is a brief story in which the conflict between the Butlerian school of anti technology and the pro-technology camp come into conflict when one planet surfers the consequences of the Red Plague, from the title.
One camp has the technology and the cure for the disease and the other camp is blindly fanatic in following the anti-technology course. This of course in the aftermath of centuries of oppression by technology driven dictatorship.
This is not a story with a moral but a window on the depth of the conflict between two believe systems.
A nice addition to the Dune lore.
Too bad that any new publications by Brian & keven J Anderson written in the Duneverse have not yet been presented. As this trilogy of the Schools of Dune was actually more than decent.

As usual, the writing was awesome. I am so glad that Herbert's son is in charge of revealing the back story to the Dune books. No one else would be right as far as I am concerned. Love everything that has come out of the Herbert and Anderson writings.

Good short story taking place between Mentats of Dune and Navigators of Dune. It probably wouldn’t make much sense if read by itself outside the Schools of Dune trilogy, but it’s a nice add to that story arc.

A minor story in the Dune universe which adds very little to the canon.

Always an enjoyable chance to sink back into the world of DUNE.

Just a little short story within the “Schools of Dune” trilogy. Highlights the divide between Josef Venport and Manford Torondo. A very quick read that won’t make sense to anyone that isn’t vested in the overall Dune series, or more specifically the trio of novels Sisterhood Of Dune, Mentats Of Dune, and Navigators Of Dune.

mostly pointless
September 24, 2020
These short stories often give you little snippets of information about the next book. In this one is it no surprise to learn the Butlerian leader would rather let his followers die horribly from the Red Plague than let doctors in league with the now fugitive Josef Venport administer the vaccine.
A small window in to how the 2 extremes think and a great appetiser to the final book in this 3 book series The Schools of Dune

A bit of a non-story - more like a moment from the larger narrative but it doesn't really have an impact on anything.

A short minor scene from a different PoV.
June 23, 2021
Humanity's technological withdrawal continues apace, but when a plague affects a colony world, Venport is asked to ferry medical supplies to them.
There is a sense of a war and some idea that technology is the cause of it. There is also references to a non partisan Suk school of medicine and Navigator enabled spaceships, but there is no explanation as to what these actually are. Even though this short story forms part of a very detailed wider universe, it should be able to be understandable (and enjoyable) on its own.
This short story fails to engage at all, feeling more like a "cut scene" from a larger novel. Without any context or characterisation, how can readers care what happens?

I can see this short story will be unpopular among many, owing to its affiliation with the Dune concept, but I for one really enjoyed it - it reminded me, for the five minutes it took to read, how rewarding good sci-fi can be.

Short but sweet
Effectively just another chapter of the Navigators of Dune full length novel.
I have seen it said it is a prequel to that book, but I think it sits better as a chapter inside that novel, as I believe Venport would act slightly differently to the Butlerians earlier on in Navigators based on these events.
Good read.

Dune: Red Plague by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson is a short story set within the Dune expanded universe, positioned during the early years after the defeat of the thinking machines and the rise of the Butlerian movement. The tale unfolds on the planet Walgis, one of the many worlds that has allied itself with Manford Torondo’s fanatical anti-technology crusade. Walgis is a relatively minor planet, not of the political weight of Arrakis or Salusa Secundus, but it serves as a useful backdrop for the ideological struggle of this period. The society there is shaped by a blend of religious zeal and fear, both of technology and of the power wielded by external groups such as Venport Holdings.
The story begins with the outbreak of a deadly disease known as the red plague, a fast-spreading and devastating infection that threatens to wipe out the population of Walgis. In this universe, even after the Butlerian Jihad, interstellar travel, trade, and communication still rely on a delicate balance of human skill and limited, regulated technology. Venport Holdings, led by Josef Venport, is one of the great commercial powers that has survived the machine wars. Venport’s organisation controls space travel and the vital trade routes that link human worlds. It represents the pragmatic, pro-technology side of the emerging Imperium, opposed in almost every way to the fanatical Butlerians who see all machines as a enemy of all humanity.
When the red plague strikes, Venport Holdings offers a vaccine that could stop the disease entirely. For any rational society, this would seem a gift and a lifeline. Yet for Manford Torondo’s followers, the offer is something far more sinister. In their eyes, accepting technological help—even if it comes in the form of medicine—amounts to a betrayal of their faith. Torondo believes that humanity must remain pure and reject all remnants of machine thinking. The offer of a vaccine thus becomes a moral and theological test, not a scientific solution. This conflict between the followers of Torondo and those who believe in technological progress forms the heart of the story.
The main people involved reflect this ideological divide. Josef Venport, a descendant of Norma Cenva and connected to the origins of the Spacing Guild, embodies the belief that controlled and ethical technology can coexist with human freedom. His motivations are not purely altruistic—Venport is a businessman as much as a scientist—but his perspective is rooted in practicality and reason. Manford Torondo, by contrast, is the charismatic and uncompromising leader of the Butlerians. He is a man of fierce conviction, who lost his legs in an accident and now uses that suffering to inspire devotion, preaching that humanity must never again rely on machines. Supporting him is Mother Superior Raquella Berto-Anirul, the early figure of what will become the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, who walks a delicate line between faith and intellect. Although she respects Torondo’s zeal, she also understands that absolute rejection of knowledge can destroy civilisation.
The people of Walgis find themselves caught between these two powers. On one side, there is the promise of survival through science; on the other, the demand for spiritual purity through suffering. The result is a moral tragedy, typical of the Dune universe. Herbert and Anderson use the planet’s plight as a microcosm of a much larger argument that runs throughout the saga: whether humanity’s advancement lies in embracing knowledge or in restraining it. The red plague becomes a metaphor for ignorance as much as for disease. By refusing help, Torondo’s followers show how fanaticism can be as deadly as any biological infection.
Technologically, the story offers glimpses into the transitional age between the destruction of the thinking machines and the later, more stable Imperium of Dune. Space travel still depends on Venport’s Navigators, who use the early form of prescience to fold space. Medical science exists but is treated with suspicion by the Butlerians. The vaccine itself, though never fully described, represents the kind of careful biological engineering that would later underpin the genetic programmes of the Bene Gesserit and the Suk Doctors. This tension over scientific ethics echoes through all of Dune’s future history.
Stylistically, the writing is clean and direct, though not as dense or layered as Frank Herbert’s original novels. The story’s brevity—only about thirty pages—means the characters serve mostly as representatives of ideas rather than as deeply developed individuals. Still, the moral conflict is sharply drawn. The authors succeed in showing how easily ideology can twist good intentions, and how both sides—faith and technology—risk becoming inhuman when pushed to extremes. Venport’s pragmatism verges on arrogance, while Torondo’s piety curdles into cruelty. The narrative’s final consequences, which I won’t spoil, underline the cost of choosing belief over compassion.
As an entry in the Schools of Dune era, Dune: Red Plague expands the universe’s history in a meaningful way. It gives a sense of how the Butlerian purges spread across human worlds and how fear of technology shaped early Imperial society. It also provides insight into the roots of several later institutions: the Bene Gesserit, with their emphasis on discipline and selective knowledge; the Mentats, born out of the rejection of computers; and the Spacing Guild, which represents the compromise between human intuition and the need for technological function. These threads tie the story directly to the grander arc of Dune’s philosophical evolution.
As a piece of writing, Dune: Red Plague is more thought-provoking than emotionally driven. While its emotional depth may be limited, the intellectual themes are strong. It explores the ongoing Dune idea that progress and ideology often come into conflict. Some readers might find its moral stance too simplistic—highlighting the contrast between technology and its challenges—while others will appreciate its deeper message: that any ideology, whether focused on progress or tradition, can become harmful if it neglects the value of human life.
In sum, Dune: Red Plague is a concise and effective exploration of the early Dune universe. It works best for readers already familiar with the Butlerian movement and the politics of Venport Holdings, as the story assumes that background knowledge. For newcomers, it might feel like a glimpse of a larger conflict without full context. Nevertheless, it succeeds in portraying the human cost of fanaticism and the perilous balance between faith and reason that defines the Dune saga. It is not among the most profound works in the canon, but it enriches the lore and reminds readers that in Dune, advancement and destruction often come from the same human impulse—to believe absolutely or take a stand.

This was only ok, based on context. When I am reading a short story, I like to have some establishing explanation. A good example are the previous short stories I just read by A.M. Dellamonica. Those were set in a world that she's written other books in, but she inserted enough worldbuilding so that they stood on their own.
There's none of that with this story. Not even having read the original Dune books was any help here. I had no idea who these characters were, and what was really going on. This felt more like a deleted scene than anything else, and it was a pretty heavy handed metaphor. This seems like it's really only for people who have read the particular Dune series this is attached to.

This was super weak.
Honestly... I don't even know why this was written/published, or having someone even take the time to illustrate a cover for it.
This is basically a single chapter within the Butlerian Jihad story line of Dune.
I guess I would rate it a 1.5, giving it an additional half a point for only being ~30 pages and being able to knock it out in a single reading session very quickly.
Again, even as a big Dune fan this offers little to no value and isn't even worth the very short time investment it takes to get through this.

As a short story, it's nothing special. It highlights the ongoing technology feud that's present in the Schools of Dune trilogy.
Something to briefly keep you up to date on the story before starting Navigators of Dune.

An entertaining enough story which acts as a refresher on some character relationships between the publication of novels, rendered redundant in my chronological reading marathon as I hadn't forgotten them!

Short story taking place between the Mentats of Dune and the Navigators of Dune.
The execution of this story was perfect.
Plague infected planet has to choose between Manford Torondo, and the faith or the Venport and his technology.
Perfect build up for the Navigators of Dune.

Probably deserving of three stars but I'm torn as its such a short book that should have been an appendix or chapter of either Mentats or Navigator book and it really is irrelevant on its own

Snooozzzzeeeeee

A pretty solid little short story that takes place between Mentats and Navigators of Dune. I've got to say, I really hate Manford Torondo.

One more dispute between Technologists and Butlerians. Let's see if this tale has any implications in future books.

A very short story. As always Dune is a interesting universe.
