Mahdi Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 The Butlerian Jihad that was going to be a collaboration between Frank Herbert and Dr.McNelly, or the Legends ofDune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, both of which are supposed to cover the same time period and materials. I really wish McNelly had let me read those first two chapters he had written for the butlerian jihad, jsut so I could see how similar it is to what the Legends of Dune trilogy is, especially since he sent a copy to Brian which Brian never commented on and then a couple years later wrote these books with Anderson.....

ordos45 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Definitely Frank and Willis's Butlerian Jihad. Frank Herbert was a marvellous writer, who didn't need page after page of action to keep a reader hooked, he could hide things within the philosophies expressed in his books that a person might find only after reading two or three times.But Kevin J. Anderson, while a marvellous author, just can't write Dune right, and neither can Brian, I look forward to the day they stop massacring it.

Vanguard3000 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Frank/McNelly, of course. Honestly, I couldn't see anyone choosing BH/KJA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 Damn you Ex. I had blocked that from my memory. Tahtw as the single, worst line of the entire series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I think that KJA/BH books are great. But thats because I prefered their topics to FH's (ie. Religion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I would read Frank and Willis's work. It was based off of the info from the DE. Thats what Willis said. If you read that stuff it sounds very good. Still though I cant wait to read brian and kevin's version. Any Dune is good Dune to me.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDevilbane Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 This really boils down to a question of whose Dune fiction would you rather see, Frank Herbert's or KJA/BH's? Do we really need to ask...? :)- Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Frank Herbert all the way. But KJA/BH work, as said Dunenewt is great. I don`t know, maybe becouse is mostly action. But FH of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 FH boox were way better then those of KJA/BH. Their boox do not suck, but are not up to the level of daddy Herbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Yea, the most important thing is that he was making action without all these adventure stuff, even if his action was slower than KJA/BH action, it was so interesting.

Colonel_Worf Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I must say that I am enjoying The Butlerian Jihad and I ask you in advance to not condemn this book without reading it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 very true colonel worf. You are right on the money here. I will post what I think of the book when I finish reading it. I suggest to follow Worf's advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahdi Posted September 27, 2002 Author Share Posted September 27, 2002 This thread isn'tmeant to pre-judge one, it's askign a simple question. Given the choice, which would you ahve rather read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 read above for me. its jsut that some people got to judging. thats all mahdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I would rather read the McNelly-version, since he seems to be much more serious about Dune.. Look at the DE. He seems to like the whole Dune universe, with politics and all, not only the planets, battles, villains and hero's BH & KJA care about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
