the series and follows the book "Dune: Charter House".
The prequels will also be concluding. At last. Have
always wondered if there would be a sense of completion
to the series. Herbert's son and family have completed
his works. It's odd that he used such powerful women as
the Benegeserits and Honored Madres in his books, but
maybe he had a thing for such women. Some people don't
consider this to be real literature, but it seems to me
some of the best science fiction of a generation of
writers. Only Asimov's Foundation series is on par.
Those Herberts are (and were) out of their ever lovin' minds! And I
will probably read every one of those books. I left off a few years
ago. Herbert wrote the first true arcography, with comprehensive ideas
of "what if" about everything that we can think of, without the
scientist's limited and nerdy ideas about romance, religion and
society.
It's sad that none of it translated to film very well.
