NeoDevilbane Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Another snippet from a different BH interview at http://www.uk.scifi.com/htmlsite/content.asp?sID=11&headID=944===Their next book will be the long awaited Dune 7 story, following on from ChapterHouse: Dune. Herbert said, "We've been brainstorming this one during our Machine Crusade tour. For example, I was talking with Kevin in front of a large audience one night and I suddenly had an epiphany, an idea I thought should be in Dune 7. So I bounced it off Kevin right there in front of the audience and we did some brainstorming. The idea was that even though Frank Herbert referred to the destruction of Dune in Heretics and ChapterHouse, it was never written. So I said to Kevin: why don't we open the first of the Dune 7 books with a dramatic destruction of Dune scene? We started kicking it around and we now agree that it is a good place to start." Herbert is keeping some of the Dune 7 details quiet though. "We found some of Dad's notes in a safe deposit box that had been locked for eleven years and we've been using them for Dune 7," he said. "We have an advantage over other science fiction series because we can always bring a character back from the dead, as a ghola, because the Tlulaxa can breed human beings out of dead cells." So who will be back from the dead in Dune 7? "Oh that's a closely guarded secret, you'll have to wait and see!" === Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leto le Juste Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Excuse me but in Heretics we learn that Miles Teg died on Dune after the Matriarcals destroyed the planet. As Dar syas to the Teg's ghola that Dune becomes a dead thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Yes, I thought the destruction of Rakis was made pretty clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Are they going to destroy arrakis again? ;)I don't think they should do flashbacks, although maybe if Teg for some reason wants to remember his own death again. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tako Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 most likely gurney, or paul I think, or Thufir Hawatwould be nice 2 mentatsbut we'll see ( or read it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ BV Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I hope for Thufir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Thufir would be my personal pick... but I think there could be some interest if Rabban or Faid were brought back for whatever purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leto le Juste Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 If the new BG has to destroy a strong enemy, all the heroes of House Atreides will be back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Mmmm, I can't wait to see a few score generations of House Atreides together in the same battle for a ultimate dramatic climax before the final curtain (cue the 'or is it...').Ghafla!
