All three novels in the Pandora Sequence by Frank Herbert & Bill Ransom, sequels to Frank Herbert's Destination Void.

The Jesus Incident—A sentient Ship with godlike powers (and aspirations) delivers the last survivors of humanity to a horrific, poisonous planet, Pandora—rife with deadly Nerve-Runners, Hooded Dashers, airborne jellyfish, and intelligent kelp. Chaplain/Psychiatrist Raja Lon Flattery is brought back out of hybernation to witness Ship’s machinations as well as the schemes of human scientists manipulating the genetic structure of humanity. Book 1 in Herbert & Ransom’s Pandora Sequence.

The Lazarus Effect—In The Jesus Incident Herbert and Ransom introduced Ship, an artificial intelligence that believed it was God, abandoning its unworthy human cargo on the all-sea world of Pandora. Now centuries have passed. The descendants of humanity, split into Mermen and Islanders, must reunite … because Pandora’s original owner is returning to life! Book 2 in Herbert & Ransom’s Pandora Sequence.

The Ascension Factor—Pandora’s humans have been recovering land from its raging seas at an accelerated pace since The Lazarus Effect. The great kelp of the seas, sentient but electronically manipulated by humans, buffers Pandora’s wild currents to restore land and facilitate the booming sea trade. New settlements rise overnight, but children starve in their shadows. An orbiting assembly station is near completion of Project Voidship, which is the hope of many for finding a better world. Pandora is under the fist of an ambitious clone from hibernation called The Director, who rules with a sadistic security force led by the assassin Spider Nevi. Small resistance groups, like the one led by Twisp Queets and Ben Ozette, have had little effect on his absolute power. The Director controls the transportation of foodstuffs; uprisings are punished with starvation. The resistance fighters’ main hope is Crista Galli, a woman believed by some to be the child of God. Crista pools her talents with Dwarf MacIntosh, Beatriz Tatoosh, and Rico LaPush to transcend the barriers between the different species and overthrow The Director and the sinister cabal with which he rules. Book 3 in Herbert & Ransom’s Pandora Sequence.

The Pandora Sequence eBook Frank Herbert Bill Ransom

I enjoyed the first two books in the series. However, the third was written after the death of Mr. Herbert. The plot in the first two was easy to follow, and the characters easier to comprehend. With the third book, the plot took a wild left turn and kept going. Newer characters were introduced and were very 2 dimensional. very few of the characters in the second book were carried over and it took a while before the new ones were "fleshed out" enough to understand them. A main character from book 2 showed up briefly early in book 3, then played a minor role until the end of 3. Suddenly, he becomes a major player again. I found the 3rd book tough to follow, and only finished it to get it over with....didn't really enjoy the story line as much as I have with other works of Herbert's. Even though the story is his, the style of writing is not.
As for the Nova reference....it started out bright and then fizzled at the end.

The Pandora Sequence eBook Frank Herbert Bill Ransom Reviews

What a surprise to find additional material on the same level as Dune. The expansive universe is interesting, and the story thought provoking. Give your mind a gift and read this book.
Kinda dated but it was easy to overlook that and just let your mind wrap around the story. I really enjoyed the book. Shipped and received on schedule.
Disappointing ending, quite a let down, regardless, the series is worth reading.
Brilliant world building and plots to reflect on after you have finished. What a series. Worth the time and money.
A wonderfully intricate, literate trilogy that imagines an alternative planet for humanity and an expanded appreciation for what is human being, as well as what is sentient life and the connections between the two. Even now, 30 years after I first read it, the Pandora sequence inspires hope for struggling humanity and the difference that each person can make.
Read these books a while back because the title of the first book(the Jesus incident) caught my eye. This is now one of my favorite series. I might also recommend reading Destination Void first or after (I read it after and still thoroughly enjoyed it). This is an excellent series an I hope someday it can be made into a series similar to game of thrones or 3-4 epic movies. Either way I strongly recommend this series to all sci-fi fans.
Somehow I ended up reading the second book of this set(The Lazarus Effect) by itself when I was in high school, and it was one of my favorites as a standalone sci-fi adventure. Aftwerwards I moved on to the Dune series and loved each entry, and now I have the benefit of seeing the scope of Herbert's ideas and the context of that one adventure set in its proper order.

I recommend picking up Destination Void, as it sets up the Pandora Sequence with some of the characters and plotlines carrying over or being referenced. It's also a damn good read that makes you think about what constitutes sentience. Going into The Jesus Incident(first in this set), it's very clear what kind of havoc the characters of Destination Void have unleashed, and it's a harrowing story about how humanity destroys the one planet that can support them out of ignorance, greed, and defiance of their deity. Moving forward to The Lazarus Effect, it has been generations since, and the world of Pandora has evolved in a way that divides humanity. It tackles issues of race, class, and the misinterpretation of scripture (notably in one chapter that I found hilarious and ironic if the situation were applied to real religions here). It also has an action-filled plotline that sells the stakes on a personal level as the characters muse on what the situations mean to them.

I've seen other reviews of the last book, The Ascension Factor, and I have to agree that it doesn't quite live up to the rest of the series, particularly since it was finished after Frank Herbert's death. It goes in a direction that I feel wasn't quite right for the preceding stories, and I'm personally disappointed at how it handles references to the previous books' characters. Nonetheless, it is still decent sci-fi that inhabits that same incredibly fleshed-out world and continues the trend of telling the story from the perspective of a later generation.

Overall as a collection, The Pandora Sequence is a fantastic read, though I do caution that it is hefty in word count and the ideas presented on the pages. I honestly wish that it garners a following much like the Dune series.
