Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Prequels are good, but as was mentioned before, different than FH books. More adventurous and less philosophical. But writing style is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Prequels are more the style of Kevin J Anderson than Frank Herbert. Basically, think of all the Star Wars books Anderson has written and how much action is in them compared to dialoge. Baiscally Brian and Kevin use action to tell the story while Frank Herbert used philosophy and dialogue to tell a story. So the prequels are better for more action based people.

Emperor Harkonnen Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 So the prequels are better for more action based people.that's why I like 'em!!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 - Prequels spoiler ! -The Battles in the prequels are great. From the battle for Ix, The emperor left at Arrakis by the Guild to Piter in the palace at Kaitain. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Even though the action is great in the prequels, I still think that they are very layered and complicated. Not just pure action books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 You must be talking about House Corrino that indeed contains more action than the dialogue or something teaching and philosophical but in House Atreides or Harkonnen, there's a good balance...

DarkElf49 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Of the Dune books that I've read so far:1.Dune Messiah2.Dune 3.Children Of DuneOf my favorite books:1.The Sword of Truth Novels (written by Terry Goodkind) 2.The Lord of the Rings (written by JRR Tolkin)3.The Dune "Trilogy" (written by Frank Herbert)(To me it seems like the Dune socity in the books is structured like a medievil socity, and even though I don't read a lot of si-fi, thats why I read them.)

TMA_1 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Bah! stupid fantasy books. I hate em. The only fantasy books I like are the narnia chronicals. Read the 2001 series. Also franks other unknown books. Those are a lot better than the Dune series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
