Implying K.J.Anderson & B.Herbert's crap is cannon? What the hell man! are you a Harkonnen spy?! or did the Corrinos send you as part of their plot?
The only Cannon is F.Herbert, stop your heresy or I will call my Fremen brothers to a Jihad against thou!
of course its not canon (theres a gun named frank?). its a horrible addendum at best and a horrific fanfic at worst. its loaded with self references. like if you read sandworms/hunters, its full of references to characters in their other spinoffs, as if the whole time they are trying to sell their own ****. and if thats not enough there is so much recap it makes me want to vomit. thats not even bothering with the fact that they keep filling in non-existant holes in f herbert's plotlines. it got infuriating after awhile. whats worse is they keep throwing in stuff from the 80's movie. its really sad.
im glad they are going back to the machine era plot. thats far enough detatched from the dune series to be a standalone plot. you can skip the prelude series, that was a painful read. the finale was kinda ****ty, and all the intermingling plots arent worth reading at all.
Dune. Holy crap so good why did I not read this several years ago.
do yourself a favor and stop reading after the original six books. it only goes down hill from there.
I'd heard the dire warnings about those, but I was going to ask if I should continue on with everything that Frank Herbert himself wrote. (Granted, it'll probably take me years before I get around to it.) Is that a yes, then?
yes do. they are all pretty good. it kinda does end on a cliffhanger but thats because herbert died before he got to dune 7. the bh+kja solution to which kinda sucked though.
