You stopped when it was good. Tleilaxu are almost wiped out and the last Master joins with the merged BG/Honored Matres of the New Sisterhood to make lots of clones/gholas ranging from Muad'dib, his mom, Chani, etc. and put them all on one No Ship. Also the Face Dancers have gone rogue (seemingly, they were actually subverted by the Machines) and are trying to take over humanity. Then the Machines come back; we failed to wipe them all out during the Butlerian Jihad. The Guild manages to genetically engineer new superior sandworms that can create "Ultra Spice" which is a far more potent form of Spice. Leto II's ghola merges with all the universe's sandworms into a new giant super sandworm. Duncan Idaho ghola is revealed to be the True Kwisatz Haderach; having evolved and perfected himself through thousands of years of ghola rebirth and altered DNA. The Machines second in command flips a mental switch and kills every Face Dancer in the universe with a built in kill command, then merges with Duncan to create a new synthesized hybrid between man and machine and bring peace to the warring universe. (If none of that made sense...it really didn't very much in the books either.)
I've not read anything after Sandworms of Dune finished the chronology of the main series though, so if anyone else can shed light on that, it would be nice.
