Milking the Cash Cow: The Audio Interview With Brian Herbert

[Colonel_Worf]

Well... now Brian is talking about making another trilogy for Dune 7 instead of just one book. Money, money, money. I don't know if this is good or bad.

[exatreide]

Its bad.

Very Bad.

And Ex Is starting to get pissed about it.

And when ex gets pissed. He invades Russia The balkins and egpyt.

And slaughters the peasents/kings/civis.(Including romaina.... backstab germany in ww1 will ya? feel the rath of the turks. Ask 045)

I do not want to do that.

But i can just imagine KJA running around in each one of those coutnries. Talking about a new dune trilegy.

I wish to god he never wrote the prequelas. He could have left dune the way it was ment to be left. BY FRANK HERBERT.

*grumbles*

[TMA_1]

lol I have always been nice I think to brian and kevin. I mean they do write great books. I couldnt put them down when I read them. They truly are talented and Iwish them only the best. this is just insanity though. It isnt meant to be a trilogy. I just dont like the sound of this. If it is a trilogy then I think this is the first time they both honestly failed.

[Colonel_Worf]

Well... I'm positive they could write a great Dune 7... but Dune 8 and 9... that's nuts!!

Their book between Dune and Dune Messiah sounds far more interesting.

[Duke_Atreides]

I just want to know when they will begin to mess with Time-Travel, and many Kwisatz-HAderach.

[Mahdi]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a kwisatz haderach latter oninthe legends of duen trilogy. there is a quote in Dune that says that the lady Jessica was juat like the other Lisan Al Gaib,meaning Paul wasn't the first,emaning they could ahve another Fremen Lisan al Gaib,and not violate continuity.Although that deosn't seemt o be that big an issue anyway.

[nemafakei]

"Jessica was juat like the other Lisan Al Gaib"

Two people from offworld - Paul and Jessica, the Bene Gesserit and the messiah - that was the prophecy.

Dune 7 is, by definition not more than one book. Making it into three is dilution of good material.

[Mahdi]

No Nema, thats not what I meant. The quote specifically says that there was an earlier Lisan Al Gaib, and that Jessica was like him.

[nemafakei]

Interesting... have you any idea of a page number

[exatreide]

Not to mention the fact that the guild created there own.

Maybe they are going to have a guild KH.

[Mahdi]

Tleilaxu created there won, not guild.

Nema, I have other things to do than search through a 300 page book for one specific passage right now.

[Anathema]

This is ridiculous- FH Herbert must be twisting in his grave.

[exatreide]

Wha?

THe telixu found him?

good maybe he could give his son a peice of his mind .

[NeoDevilbane]

I could live with Dune 7 as a trilogy, but only so long as KJA/BH STRICTLY and RELIGIOUSLY stick to the FH-written outline and don't deviate from it.

Frank was a writer that was blessed with the writing skill that enabled him to somehow very expertly condense into a single novel what it takes the Kevin J. Andersons & Brian Herberts of the writing world entire trilogies to chronicle... but then one must understand that writers like Frank Herbert only come around once in a blue moon. In this regard I could see KJA/BH being cut some slack.

[Colonel_Worf]

But if it takes a thick book to tell a good story, so be it.

[Dunenewt]

More Dune books- why should you complain?

I agree with Worf

[AlteaDeo]

why complain? more and more books will soon bring a story wich is dilued in too many pages just to make more money... and we'll feel that in the pages... That's better less books of better quality to me.
