You would think that considering Dune is the best selling sci-fi book of all time that Brian wouldn't have to produce "Noddy" versions of Dune by a washed up Star Wars writter with a reputation for producing bad books in order to put food on the table. If Dune really must be a family enterprise then Brain will have to accept the fact that genetic traits sometimes skip a generation and perhaps his children can do a better job, probably before they graduate.
