Richard Kendrick Wrote:In the theater nobody knew what the hell was going on unless they had read the book. But the LOOOOOOONG version sums things up pretty well.
I loved all the books. I'm looking forward to the final two books. They are based on an outline, by Frank Herbert, found in a safe deposit box many years after his death. They are being written by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert. I have also enjoyed their Dune prequels as well. I believe there are three more of those in the works as well.

My One-True-Love whom I shall someday marry says about the same thing, Richard. But let's one music man talk straight to another: do any of the books after the first 2 have great lines ( or scenes) like:
"They have tried to take the life of my son!"
"It was the Harkonnens, Father. We shall have to destroy them."
"The tooth! =The tooth!="
"I was a friend of Jamis...he taught me...when you kill...you pay for it."
"Are you challeging me, sir?"
"You had best explain yourself, Gurney."
"You thought you were doing a thing for Leto...and for that I honor you."
"These people are insane!--Give her body to the storm!"
"Let the storm have what it can take! I'm sorry, Grandfather...you've met the Atreides gom jabbar."
Hee-hee! How can you beat that talk and that action, Richard? I ask yez.
Back with this one--the great last scene in DUNE MESSIAH--the face dancer holding Mau'Dibs infants hostage...Alia touching her blind brother's arm and moving off to the side, her crysknife out... to rescue the tiny ones...the face dancer shouting, "That's far enough, Alia!" Not even an Ixian face dancer is faster than Alia, but his knife is =so close= to the babies... Would he live a heartbeat after killing them? No. Is he willing to do it ? Yes. I could go on here, but jeez...if you haven't read it, =please= do. You will never forget this book.
