I'm re-reading Dune, since it's been about 15 years since I read it. I think I'm going to try the whole six-book series, too.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostYeah, I read a couple which his son wrote. They're strongly flavored of fanfic.
Then again, the last couple Frank wrote were off-puttingly bizarre themselves.
As for what Frank wrote himself I didn't notice any real change.

I knew that his son and Kevin J Anderson wrote a bunch between them, but it was my understanding that Frank wrote the 6-book main series. I've heard the quality is a little uneven on those, but that's what I'd expect given just how good the first one is.
Nothing against the son or Anderson, but I have no plans to read their Dune novels any time soon.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.
