By the power invested in me, I now declare this a Dune thread.

I'll start: who thinks the prequels/sequels by Anderson and Brian Herbert ruined the continuity? I do.

>Paul, born on Kaitain
>Ix using genetic technology to create suboids
>Danny and Marty = Omnius and Erasmus

Everybody thinks that. I made the mistake of reading Paul of Dune before Children of Dune, because it was labelled the "direct sequel". Terrible idea.

By Children of Dune I meant Dune Messiah. I got a bit mixed up as to order there.

By reading the prequels, my vision of Ix was ruined.
I had envisioned Ix as a Coruscant-type of world: but the prequels present it as an underground world, with worse of all, SUBOIDS.

>Paul, born on Kaitain

The funniest part about this one is that the line
>he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there
appears right in the first paragraph of Dune.

I read the first Brian Herbert/other-hack book, but it was bad enough that I haven't tried the others.

>> No.2271397

It seems as though the Dune novels written by Anderson and the bastard Herbert are meant more for mass consumption: they have more swashbuckling action and fighting, whereas in the original Dune, everything was less focused on fighting and more on the advancement of certain themes.

Fuck Anderson and Brian Herbert.

They are fun, but the lack the depth of the original series. And sometimes, they just overdo certain plot details

>Tleilaxu taking over Ix
>Danny and Marty being Machines
>many more examples

>> No.2271425

So only read the Frank Herbert Dune books, is this correct?

I really enjoyed the Dune prequels when I was kid, but I know if I ever revisit them I'll think they're shitty. Oh well.

Blame the pacifistic liberals.

>> No.2271437

So which of Herbert's works are worth reading? I'm fucking loving Dune but I'd rather not ruin it with "that book" that ruins half the setting, if you know what I mean.

>> No.2271446

>>2271437
I like the first 4 Frank Books.
