NHJ BV Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 http://www.dunenovels.com/books/road2dune.htmlI have no idea if this is new or for how long this may have been on the site, but dunenovels.com has a list of the contents of Brian & Kevin's The Road to Dune:ROAD TO DUNEContentsForeword by Bill RansomIntroduction by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. AndersonSPICE PLANET -- the alternate Dune novel (short novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, based on Frank Herbert's first outline for what would become DUNE)"They Stopped the Moving Sands" (Frank Herbert's original article proposal and notes, which became the seeds for DUNE)The Letters of DUNE (correspondence with agents, John W. Campbell, Jr., and rejection slips)UNPUBLISHED SCENES AND CHAPTERS FROM DUNE:-Paul and Reverend Mother Mohiam -Paul and Thufir Hawat -Paul and Gurney Halleck -Paul and Dr. Yueh -Paul and Duke Leto Atreides: The Spacing Guild & the Great Convention-Baron Harkonnen and Piter de Vries -From Caladan to Arrakis -Blue-Within-Blue Eyes -Jessica and Dr. Yueh: The Spice -Paul and Jessica -Escape from the Harkonnens: With Duncan and Liet-Kynes at the Desert Base -The Flight from Kynes's Desert Base -Muad'dibUNPUBLISHED SCENES AND CHAPTERS FROM DUNE MESSIAH:-Original Opening Summary for DUNE MESSIAH -Alia and the Duncan Idaho Ghola -The Human Distrans -Conspiracy's End (alternate ending) -Blind Paul in the Desert (alternate ending)SHORT STORIES "A Whisper of Caladan Seas" "Hunting Harkonnens" "Whipping Mek" "The Faces of a Martyr"Personally, I really look forward to the new scenes, especially the Paul & Leto scene about the Great Convention and the Guild. I really like the Guild and the political system of the Duniverse. I also never read A Whisper of Caladan Seas. "Spice Planet" sounds pretty awful though, in my opinion.

Vanguard3000 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Wasn't this the book that was supposed to have notes for the real Dune 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hmm, I wonder what bill ransom thinks of brian and kevin's works. He is an amazing poet and the books he help to cowrite with frank are all awesome from what I have read so far. It would be a great question to ask actually sometime.

AeonGrey Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 SPICE PLANET -- the alternate Dune novel (short novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, based on Frank Herbert's first outline for what would become DUNE)What the crap? They're actually going back and RE-writing Dune? That really boils my blood. It's bad enough they went crazy and wrote 6 crappy prequels to Dune, but now they're actually going back and (pardon my french) fucking with the original stuff? Why isn't it enough for them to just release some form of the damn outline. I really really don't like this at all. I think now it'll be hard for me to even buy this "Road to Dune" thing.I'm actually a little surprised there aren't more people cheesed off about this.
