AVOID AT ALL COSTS:
Everything else.
Crikey, there's more? How many of these books have they done?
I picked up the first four a few months ago. This thread is re-affirming my decision to stop there.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS:
Everything else.
I would rank them thusly:
MUST READ:
Dune
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
WORTH READING
God Emperor of Dune
NOT NECESSARY, BUT HARMLESS
Heretics of Dune
Chapterhouse Dune
INTERESTING, BUT WORTHLESS
House Atreides
House Harkonin
House Corino
AVOID AT ALL COSTS:
Everything else.
After that it began to feel a little stretched out. And too weird.
And while we're at it...
At all costs, avoid any of the pastiches co-written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert.
Although, I am still interested in reading Paul of Dune. That one seems like it may have some promise (unless there's others here who have read it and think they should warn me off from it?).![]()
is how you feel, then I'd say give Paul of Dune a try.I found the Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert sequels to not be too bad, - definitely not as good as the first four, or even Heretics and Chapterhouse - but not too bad - at least until the last book.
