[QUOTE]Originally posted by knivesout: [QB] I enjoyed the whole Dune series. Like the Reverend says, it picks up again after God Emperor. Chapterhouse made for a very open-ended ending - possibly because Herbert wanted to carry it on but death intervened - but then again, Herbert tends to have very open-ended endings,if you've read his other works. It isn't kickass space opera by any means, but I find SF has always been a genre based on ideas - perhaps Herbert just kept his ideas a little closer to the surface. I agree that the Dune prequels are pale shadows - if you've read the sort of thing the younger Herbert and of course his collaborator Anderson come out with on their own, I suppose it was a good career move for them to piggyback on Frank Herbert's vision and turn his masterpiece into yet another SF franchise. Bleah. I also like Herbert's Pandora trilogy - The Jesus Incident, The Lazarus Effect and The Ascencion Factor. these were co-written with Bill Ransom who completed the last volme after Herbert's death, and they explore a world and a set f basic concepts/issues as fascinating as that of Dune, if less sweeping and epic.
