Interview and Excerpt

[Gobalopper]

The latest news for the upcoming Dune prequel novel is coming from the Dune miniseries website of all places.

There is a RealVideo interview with co-author Kevin J. Anderson and his wife Rebecca Moesta discussing the novel and miniseries. Kevin mentions that House Harkonnen should be released in October and that he hopes to release a new Dune novel every year around that time. He goes through some of the writing processes and how they found over 2000 pages of notes from Frank Herbert. This is a two-part interview and the second half will be out on July 5th.

There is also an excerpt from House Harkonnen, the second prequel novel, entitled "Dune: Nighttime Shadows on Open Sand." I am in the process of reading it now and so far it is quite interesting. It involves some Harkonnens finding a spice blow and the problems they cause after capturing a new born sandworm.
