Thank you thank you
So late last night I finished Hunter of Dune, and all I can say is TTTHHHANNNKK YOUUU!!!
Finally, some answers. The new book makes complete sense with the back story from the Legends of Dune series, which of course was their intent. I have very few complaints. The first one is that I've waited forever for Dune 7, not Dune 6.5!!! But it's understandable considering the scope of the Dune universe. Actually, thats my only complaint. I try to imagine how Frank Herbert would have approached Dune 7 and the Legends of Dune series. Granted Dune 7 and the Legend of Dune series weren't written that far apart, however, the style of writing is too close together. In Chapeterhouse, you're running through that novel wondering who the enemy is and what the hell's going on. Then when you read Hunters, it feels like you just sort of walk over to where you discover the true identity. Not to mention, that because of the Legends of Dune series, the minute you open Hunters the answer of who the Enemy is smacks your right in your face like "oh duh". I wonder if it would have been so obvious if Frank Herbert wrote the series. This in no way detracts from Brian Herbert and Kevin Andeerson's works, they have done a fabulous job of bringing Dune back into circulation. I love the entire series. I understand that it's not Frank Herbert writing, that it's just his notes, and they're doing a great job. I can definitely feel him behind their work. Wow, i've been waiting to talk about Dune forever!! Barely any of my friends read, let alone read Dune. And the few that like Dune haven't read past the first book. Well, Joe has read farther, but there are better things to talk about with him like beer, chicks, and....well beer and chicks sums it up pretty nicely.
