Congrats on securing the CD, I am curious how much more
there is on there, probalby more sound files, and possibly
movies??
I agree re DUNE the orignal book being a masterpiece, it is
really quite remarkable, I have read the series many times over
the years and sometimes i find parts of it easier or likeable, and
at other times change, in and out....but overall it is an amazing concept.
from an earlier post:
The Dune novels by Herbert are:
Dune A "feudal" future reality centered on a banished family
who starts to reclaim their power by harnessing the political
and economic power of an exotic drug created by giant huge
sand dwelling worms on a desert ecologic disaster of a planet,
with overtones of ninja-arab bedoin culture, and a young messiah
figure, and a women's cult based on psi and genome science.
To believe in the plot one must believe in psi and suspend
doubt of drug use. a taunt and thrilling beginning to a sweeping
saga...that spreads across the galaxy......it is followed by:
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
Heretics of Dune
Chapterhouse: Dune
The Firrsts and the Last seem the best to me, the in between ones
get rather weird, but the overall story is well handled by the games
up on the site here, Dune I and Dune II, except for the wider
galactic things, but they are suggested as well.
I don't like the Prequels much at all, they are by his son and someone
else and seem totally different, with only faint simlarities to the
originals, Not unusual in the case of carry ons written by other authors.
Dune is a fine piece of work!!
