New Dune

[nampigai]

I like all the books and I think that Frank Herbert made the best Books in history, they have it all, my favorit(s) is the two last books and I don't find any of the books boring, I do however find the prequels a bit "childish" they aren't as well written and complex as Franks. but they have their own charm.

[Nefud]

You speak my lanuage NaMpIgAi!! ;D I exactly have the same opinion about FH's novels and the prequels!

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Yes, Brian wrote something more adventurous than Frank`s dune book. Frank made book incuded philosophy, humans problems and ecology. But I think Herbert did something that nobody wrote for all this time and its most profound book I read.

But I still like prequels more than last two parts.

Gun speaks in my language  ;D ;D Though I think there'r 2 books in history - Dune & Lord of the Rings...

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Lord of the Rings...its something so much different...I read first part and if I should be honest, it doesn`t as good as I thought. But book is better than movie. I`m going to read the second one now, I don`t say its not good, I had to use to these hobbits and other fairytail stuff. But Dune is still best book that have been written since now.

My favorite character - Gimly the dwarf  ;)

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Really...I think Aragorn is preety good. And Peregrin Tuk is funny.

But Dune!! No Lord of the Rings!

[Nefud]

I'd say about LoR that it's pretty good, and the only fantastic-kinda book which could challenge Dune. But I think Dune's still better...  ;D

And yes yes, back to the topic!  ;D

Ahem who knows when the Butlerian Jihad'll be released? ::)

[Mahdi]

First book due out this october.

[Nefud]

Really?? Cool!!!!!!  ;D

[Acriku]

It will answer a lot of questions, and be just plain awesome. Anyone know what the timeline is of the Jihad Series?

[Alexander_Ordos]

It's the timeline when Corrinos established their empire... And kicked AI's ass ;) There'd be 3 books:

Butlerian Jihad

Crusade of the machines

the battle of Corrin

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well, good to know, I didn`t hear about it before :(.

I bet, that I will have to wait long long for read this one...

[Alexander_Ordos]

We'll have to wait together Gun, cause my Dune book access lies in Germany  ;)

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I haven`t House Corrino yet. Maybe it is somewhere in my country but I didn`t saw it anywhere. When they are so good for Dune fans I don`t really wait now for those books. I have vision it will be in 2 years (maybe too long :D).

[nampigai]

They will publish a new book each year for four years so that could make some new Dunefans ;)

[jacobdouds]

I found CoD onwards very boring. I would just read Dune and Dune Messiah if you don't have patience.

I WAS WRONG. Once you get past the first two thirds it gets real interesting. But Already GEoD seams lacking in depth. It was better books as a desert planet.

Can I ask how does a SandTrout become a Sandworm?
