Frank Herbert's other books

[Dunenewt]

How many people have read any of Frank Herbert's other books?  I bought The Dragon in the Sea and The Santaroga Barrier yesterday, and will be reading them shortly.

I've read Do I Wake or Dream? and some other short stories, as well as about the half of The Santaroga Barrier in Russian, but translations often leave a confusing feel. I think I've got to get some of Frank's books in English someday (in particular, I want to read The Dragon in the Sea) :)

After I've read it, I could post it to you, it is quite a thin book.  According the the inside cover, the copy of The Santaroga Barrier I have is a first edition.

I found that Santaroga Barrier didn't compare to Dune, but it was an interesting read. I found more interesting FH's unpublished Dune things in Road to Dune. I'd like to read this compilation of FH short stories at some point.

Dunenewt, at first I didn't get it what you were talking about ;D Thanks, I'll think about that :)

I've read a ton of Herbert's other works.  Dragon in the Sea (A.K.A. Under Pressure) was really good; but I wasn't as crazy about the Santaroga Barrier. Two of my favourites were the White Plague, and his only non-sci-fi novel, Soul Catcher.  The ConSentiency novels were pretty good, too.

The Dosadi Experiment was great, and I've meant to read Destination: Void but never got a hold of it.

I also remember a short story (forgot the title) where there's a race of immortal aliens (called Chem, if I'm not mistaken) who secretly shoot "feature films", which are in fact real-life events on Earth that are engineered by them. They also kidnapped human females and made them their sex slaves or something.

I bought The Dosadi Experiment, Whipping Star. Hellstrom's Hive, and The World's of Frank Herbert today.

[MrFlibble]

I've got Hellstrom's Hive in Russian, but I haven't read it yet.

The ConSentiency and the Pandora books are favorites. <i>The While Plague</i> was bleak, but I enjoyed it.

<i>The Road to Dune</i> is a bit of a disappointment, no? Too much extraneous, non-FH sh...stuff. ::)

That would be the Heaven Makers.  I wasn't really crazy about it, but parts of it were interesting.

The Dragon In The Sea was a great read, and although short, kept me entertained.  There was lots of things that reminded me of Dune in the book, including the reference to hawkish features, and something about a reed in the wind.
