I think they're raping Dune for the fun of it, can't be they're in real need of cash anyway.

PAUL OF DUNE, the direct sequel to the classic DUNE and the first novel in the Heroes of Dune Trilogy, is due in stores on September 16, 2008.

I'm going to buy every new dune book and put them in a glass case, never to be read again.
They will be ostracized, torn apart from the rest... never to be savored, as an old friend, and never to be caressed by a trembling and expectant hand. They will be forgotten, not bygone books of a previous age, but unloved tomes that should never be opened... they cannot recieve the communion of our hands... they must instead be locked away, by rights only seen...
