Touponce, William F. Frank Herbert. Boston: Twayne Publishers, 1988

Is a book I got at the library.

The other two articles I had to get shipped to me from a library. I do not think they are online. But feel free to search.

The fab six, plus hunters and sand worms.  also Butlerian Jihad.

...talking about the two sequels below...

[hide]Yes, i would've liked to explore different characters than just the original cast in the sequels, but I did find it quite interesting to experience the dilemma they each faced with knowing the identity of who they will become as a person through the whole ghola thrashing process.  The Dr. Yueh drama was fun to read through imo.  I mean in youth, most people have this feeling that anything is possible.  (you remember when you wanted to be a fireman, doctor, astronaut...rock star..ect.) well, these youths didn't have that option. they knew exactly who it was they would become.  sort of a fascinating dilemma from a psychological point of view.  [/hide]

Wasn't that sufficiently explored in Heretics and Chapterhouse with Duncan and Teg gholas?

The original 6, the house series, Butlerian Jihad and Machine Crusade.

I've absolutely no interest in the sequels at the moment though I might get tempted enough to get them out from the library.

Guess I should add Science of Dune to that list.

[hide]I didn't think they were told that they were gholas...actually maybe duncan was.  But I can't seem to remember if they were told who they would become[/hide]

hmm. I think that you are correct about that. lol, guess that part wasn't new after all. been so long since I read those I must've forgot.

For people looking for material to read, read the sticked thread "A list of all Dune books and related work"

Has some links to some articles and stuff.

Both Duncan and Teg knew they were gholas prior to memory recovery, and ghola Teg even studied a lot of historical facts about "the Bashar" of whom he thought of as someone else but knew that he'd become him once his memories are back.
