Weird Dune Connection

[TMA_1]

Well you all know dune guys. This is weird though. In his other novels he talks about the same technology thats in Dune. Such as Heighliners, chairdogs, the galach language. Doesnt this strike anybody as odd? Also things like whipping star. It talks about a computer overlord controlling the universe. Could it be that some of his other novels have to do with the prebutlerian jihad days?

By the way. Frank's other novels are much better than the Dune novels. Thats saying a lot. They are my favorite.

Chairdogs are also mentioned in "The Tactful Saboteur", a short story by Mr. Herbert (in Eye). It takes place in ~6000AD.Overall, I just think he stuck with the ideas he liked. other than that, I don't think they're related.Oh, and I agree that his other works are great (Man of Two Worlds was really good) but I like Dune better.

Read the Pandora trilogy. Also read the whipping star trilogy. Those are a lot better than Dune. tell me if you have vanguard.

The Pandora trilogy is very very good trilogy... there is definatly a link in thought.. with chars and tech's and all

same author, authoirs are smart and stupid at the same time... they makes good books, and the books are success, then they wat more sucesss and copy parts from the old book ::)

Well, still.. it would be interesting if any of his other novels were connected in some way.
