I know Nebby's posts can be a bit gushy, but calling them tripe is a bit harsh.

You don't think the same could've been accomplished and more with the release of some mindful works that not only keep Frank's novels alive, but further the causes he wrote about?Spice Grandson wrote:Have you seen the increase in sales of Frank Herbert's original series (Amazon, etc.)? And the fact that a new movie deal has been struck? And that publishers are now re-releasing the original series in hardcover again? And that many of Frank's non-Dune books have been re-released, too? So exactly how does that equate to not keeping Frank's worlds alive?
Brian and Kevin are keeping Frank's legacy alive by putting out there that their purpose is to correct Frank's mistakes, completely change the tone of the Dune saga, and tell stories that Frank never would have wanted told? How noble.Spice Grandson wrote:The Herbert family loved and respected Frank. Many a Thanksgiving was spent at his home in Port Townsend with everyone gathered. Even I, in my childhood, talked with Frank about Dune items.
Our goal is to keep Frank's vision alive. It deserves it. It doesn't deserve the trash that has spilled forth on this thread, that's for sure.

Neither one of them are smart enough to put something like that together. Can you imagine how that would read?SandChigger wrote:Just as has been shown in the crap books they've been squatting out for the last decade, it seems they're basically suffering from a lack of imagination.
They could have:
1. Issued a concordance. (A real one, not just something they flap their mouths about and list in bibliographies of other books.)
2. Issued a REAL Dune Encyclopedia.
3. Issued a book of the chapters and passages cut from Dune and the other novels; variant chapters and endings, FH's correspondence with publishers (or famous scientists?)...The Road to Dune, in other words, without the crap.
Geez. Now that I think about it, thank god for small favors.The Idiot Brothers wrote:"Evidents shows that Frank Hrebert intended for the word "ghola" to sound like "ghoul" citation. Isn't that creepy boys and girls? According to something we read on Wikipedia, they were all over the place in the last two books. citation. They had a plot to take all over the world. I mean, the universe. citation. But really, by the end of the "saga," (and by "saga," I mean book seven (and eight)) nothing that Frank had their masters doing amounted to shit. citation.
