[QUOTE="reddist, post: 615423, member: 5212"] On Dune: I've read them all, several times actually. I like them, and I find the last two to be more similar to the first, as far as style goes, than the ones in the middle. I was a little disappointed with the end of Chapterhouse, though. However, my issues may be remedied in the not-too-distant-future. Seems a "Dune 7" book is being talked about, concerning the events that take place after Frank's original series. For those intereseted: [url]http://www.dunenovels.com/[/url] The "prelude" books are alright. I'm reading them, but at times I think they try a little too hard. Still, if you liked the original series, they do use a lot of the same characters and cover a lot of the material alluded to by the first books. I think its funny that of all the characters and the vast amounts of time covered in the books, Duncan Idaho is in all of them. Tells you something about Herbert's values and veiw point, I think. There's lots of nifty little "sound bites" in those books. I've got a list of most of them I made when I was younger, less cynical, and more easily influenced. If you haven't heard, SCI Fi channel is doing Children of Dune sometime in March. Stepping off my soap box, -Reddist [/QUOTE]
