Frodo Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 yes, dune messiah was good, but it looked at the story from a more political stand-point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hey, I like Dune Messiah to http://www.dune2k.com/forum/attachments/sunglassez.gif. But I thought most people hated it :(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 i liked it, but no, i don't think most people did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Well... I thought Messiah was pretty good... not as good as Dune or any of the prequels though (braces for punches) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 True, but we'll have to take what we can get until it gets so bad that even we dedicated fans can't stand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title of the book is Dogged Persistence and it's by Kevin J. Anderson, and contains the short story "Whisper of Caladan Seas"I haven't heard of Eye... but I do know that Hunting Harkonnens is avaialable for free online and takes place before The Butlerian Jihad.

ordos45 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Or in other words, whatever you want to read, be it the prequels, or Butlerian Jihad, or the actual way they came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Well, there are many of use out there who don't consider the prequels to be "official" either ;)I was just listing many of the books for him. There are more out there, but these are the bigger ones.Why I included songs of maud'dib, I don't know. It's even harder to find than the encyclopedea. Eye is a collection of short stories by Frank Herbert where he talks quit a bit about the movie,and contains his walking tour of arrakeen.
