I haven't seen the movie yet, but weren't the ugly beasties the navigators in the movie? Someone said Herbert didn't describe the navigators in the book, and this is not true. Brad Myers @ University of Toronto P.S. The book is really great! With all these old great books on my shelf, I don't know why I keep buying new trash.
