The Chem, immortal aliens, were the prisoners of eternity, gripped by the despair that immortality brought...strange dwellers in a timeless world that brought terror and suffering to the creatures they manipulated. Enter their world of infinite possibility and discover the fascinating secrets of a master race whose plaything is time...they have observed Earth for centuries, making full sensory movies of wars, natural disasters, and horrific human activities, all to relieve their boredom. When they finally became jaded by ordinary, run-of-the-mill tragedies, they found ways to create their own disasters, just to amuse themselves. These are the super beings who control men's destinies and who derive their pleasure from the pain and torture they inflict on mere human beings. However, interfering with human activities was forbidden, and by the time Investigator Kelexel arrived to investigate, things were really getting out of hand... #frankherbert #theheavenmakers #scifi #sciencefiction #fantasy #aliens #dune #extraterrestrial #bookcover #illustration #scifinovel #vintagescifi #frankherbertsdune #scifiauthor #usedbookstore #usedbooks #etsysellers #etsyshop #bookstagram #thepreservingmachine

The Heaven Makers involves an immortal alien race called the Chem. Nothing except the entire Chem society can harm another Chem. Because of their immortality, the Chem are constantly searching for amusement to stave off boredom which they view as the ultimate nemesis of immortality. To combat boredom they have 'storyships' that can create entire worlds at will. Fraffin, the director of a popular storyship, is under investigation for alleged crimes committed in the use of his current world creation by fellow Chem Kelexel. The world in question, which has been ongoing for millennia, is Earth. . The story switches between Fraffin and Kelexel and the "characters" on Earth, one of whom is an immune, a human named Thurlow. Thurlow is beginning to believe that "someone" is pulling the strings of his life. Kelexel is concerned that Fraffin may have given his Earth creatures an awareness that could act as an infectious intelligence that disrupts the carefully calibrated Chem society. Little does Kelexel know, he and Thurlow are on a collision course with each other as they both question their places in their perceived universe. . The Earth parts of the book feel like 50's America with all the baggage of that era in place; which is odd to see in a Herbert novel where that era is typically (and thankfully) absent. But the book has an interesting premise that wrestles greatly in the end with the concepts of what a perfect society looks like and whether anyone could ever be happy in such a society. It posits that any society, where its members are immortal, is innately flawed because life is fundamentally perceived by all beings as a construct of a "between" rather than an infinity. Not being able to die, the Chem's belief in their own perfection is flawed. . #theheavenmakers #frankherbert #newenglishlibrary #bookreview #bookrecommendation #scifibook #sciencefiction #fantasybook #fantasybooks #vintagebooks #bookcollection #bookcollector #bookstagram #lovereading #mbeckmanbookreview
