OK I confess.  I read Dune *many* years ago and liked it very much.  I
have read none of the sequels until recently.  I started the second book
and thought it stunk.  However, I have read "Heretics of Dune".  It 
wasn't bad at all.   In fact, I liked it.  Not great literature, and
a little confusing, but a nice story. (I didn't buy the hardback.  I
borrowed it.)
