Does anyone have some information on any books after the fourth
DUNE book entitled "God Emperor of Dune". I just read through
all four books and am breaking out in hives waiting to see how
the next one will be.
Later much...

heretics of dune came out last year. you will want to get it if you
simply MUST have all the dune books. as far as a book goes, it's
neither here nor there. so why did i buy the hardcover edition?
good question. it wasn't really worth it.

The fifth DUNE book is called "HERETICS OF DUNE" and has been out
since early 1984 in hardcover. I don't think it is in trade or
regular paperback just yet.
There is, believe it or not, a 6th volume coming out this spring,
called "CHAPTERHOUSE: DUNE". This one (#6) is supposed going to
finally END the "DUNE saga". (This has been said before!)
In closing I include my favourite quote of Frank Herbert:
"I'm still against the idea of sequels in principle, because it's
like watering down your wine all the time until you're left with just
water."

GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE
HERETICS OF DUNE
and CHAPTERHOUSE:DUNE

The fifth book is entitled "Heretics of Dune". I just saw an ad that it's
now available in paperback. I haven't read it, though...I'm waiting for
the SF Book Club to offer it.

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.)
