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.) "Don't argue with a fool.
