I find the Dune books written by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert to be way more readable than those written by Frank Herbert. This isn‘t said to dis‘ Frank. Instead, I say this to praise Kevin and Brian. This duo brings the Dune universe completely to life, giving us a flourishing backdrop against which we may better understand Frank‘s masterpieces. I do consider this one to be a “must read,” without which much of the epic tale is lost.

I feel that this book has a very large plothole. Holtzmann has to use teams of math-solving slaves to carry out calculations on a planet where computers are banned due to the threat of thinking machines. However, they seem to have no issue with spaceships, which surely require powerful computational components, and with electronics-based weaponry. I've never seen a Raspberry Pi revolt and try to usurp power.

I just loved this book that brought me back to Dune universe I enjoyed so much in my teens. I will read the original books again as soon as I get to them (I'm reading in chronological order). If you haven't Frank Herbert's books I think it would be a good idea starting by his son and Anderson's books. #Sha2017 #SciFi

BiblioNyan There‘s spoilers later down the line for the original Dune saga. And you definitely DON‘T want to read Hunters of Dune & Sandworms of Dune until after you‘ve read Chapterhouse Dune as the duology is conclusion to the whole saga. :) 7y
Sha0102 @Bibli0.Nyan I intend to read in this order: http://www.dunenovels.com/articles/tags-blog/chronology Do you think this is ok? Sorry I did not understand exactly what you said about spoilers 😣 Thanks! 7y
BiblioNyan @Sha0102 Yes!! The only one not listed is Sandworms of Dune, which should be read after Hunters of Dune; it‘s the conclusion book in the saga. 7y
Sha0102 @Bibli0.Nyan Yay! Thanks for the tips!!! ❤ 7y

I'm about 50% of the way thru this with Sir Betrothed. It has been really fun seeing his reactions and hearing his theories on the story. He's actually got quite a lot of it right on the nail, I'm so impressed!!

Sha0102 Gosh I didn't know his son was writting prequels and sequels! 😱 Gotta read them all. 7y
BiblioNyan @Sha0102 Yes! Along with Kevin J Anderson. There's the Legenda of Dune (takes place 10,000 before Dune), followed by The Prequels of Dune (about 50-100 years before Dune), then Schools of Dune which discusses establishment of Bene Gesserit and the Mentats. So far only 2 books in that series. 😃😃 7y
Sha0102 @Bibli0.Nyan I'll be lookjng for these books tomorrow!! Thanks for the info!! 🤗 7y
Sha0102 @Bibli0.Nyan Reading and Loving it!!! 🤗 7y

Making Sir Betrothed read through these trilogies. When he started talking about the book, I knew I had to do a read along! These are some of my all-time favourite #SFF books!

This trilogy takes place 10,000 years prior to the events of #Dune by Frank Herbert. Wonderful added layers of history & lore to an already immensely meticulous & phenomenally imaginative universe!
