Mahdi Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 In a new interview with the sci-fi wire, Anderson is claiming that there was also a c omplete outline for the Butlerian Jihad trilogy, much like there was for Dune seven, found in that safety deposit box.

Andrew Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2004-03/23/12.00.booksIs the link. I would hope instead of them flooding the market with books, maybe they would use toys, miniseries and games. Maybe the odd spice cologne, but not their own books to make them look big. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egeides Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 If they had this from the beginning, how come they didn't say a thing about it? ::)Personally, the first question I'd have for them would be "Can you prove it and show the sources?"

Khan Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Pfft, they'd probably come out with something like 'Frank didn't want any of his unmade stuff mad public'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 "You guys won't believe this, but we made the plot for the 7th and 8th novels and then found the notes, and amazingly...the plots are exactly the same! Man, good writer's think alike!" *Boysterous laugh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeonGrey Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm sorry, but the story elements in Butlerian Jihad do not strike me at ALL as something that Frank Herbert would have come up with. Way too typical Sci-fi.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tako Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I agree, don't think Frank Herbert would make up such a storylineIt would have had more dept I think when he had written it, shame though...(this does'nt meen I didn't like the BJ or MC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMA_1 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 argh, it just isnt funny anymore. It frankly is pathetic. If Frank herbert came up with Cymeks, then I am the pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 It only says the outline for Dune 7 was found in the box... nothing about the prequels being in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 The question is, what happened to the notes that FH though of, but thought were too tacky/infeasible/inappropriate to use?My guess is they've found some of them and used them. In fact, that would work precisely: They could say they're using his notes, they could write how they like, this explains why they WOULDN'T release notes with crossings-out they've used anyway, and this shows how they can come up with poor books.

driftingcloud Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Someone want to explain this?SciFiWire interview quote:9:00am ET, 23-March-04 Final Dune Sequels Due "When we started going through all his notes we found these keys to a safe deposit box, and inside the safe deposit box was Frank Herbert's full and complete outline for what he called Dune Seven," Anderson said. "In it is his giant outline for the grand climax, which wraps up everything in the whole story."Yet I read an interview with Byron Merrit, Frank's grandson, saying that the safe deposit box was found, but had to be drilled out because no one had any keys! Something is fishy here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Well, it's obvious, isn't it? Merrit was in fact a fake sent to deceive us and undermine the real notes: he was just a ghola-cymek-clone concocted by the Evil Conspirators, whose identity is revealed only in the all-singing, all dancing, two, no, THREE climactic, never-to-be-repeated books (hitherto known only as Dune 7, 8, and 9) whose outlines were hidden away in the previously undiscovered no-room found in the REAL safety-deposit box!
