Did anyone point out yet that Brian Herbert goes by the handle @DuneAuthor on Twitter?

He is such an insecure hack.

I'm curious if there any record of what Stanislaw Lem thought of Frank Herbert. He didn't seem overly fond of much american sci-fi and thought it was largely written to make money rather than to challenge ideas and the like, so I'd be curious if he even made mention of Dune since it's obvious got a lot more going for it than the average sci fi book about LORD CYBERTREX 8000 or what have you.
Sadly he didn't go on record about it. Probably because he was specifically created by the KGB to torment Dick, not Herbert.

Thats all real. He has defiled dune to the maximum. It feels like brian herbert is doing a contract killing of his father's legacy out of bitterness for being a bad dad

Either Frank Herbert was a dumbass or this info about Harkonnen sounding soviet to him is from "Dreamer of Dune", the Hugo award nominated biography of Frank Herbert, by his son @duneauthor

Edit: yes

Ol' baron's name was Vladimir and that should be plenty to assuage the red scare enthusiasts among your readers. But treating the Harkonnen name as anything close to soviet/communist is just silly. It's like saying that "Von Braun" has that American dream tinge to it.

This is legit better than the actual canon (lol) by @duneauthor from the ultra spice video linked on this page. It’s still terrible btw

“Brian Herbert is the greatest writer in the history of mankind, the literary genius who conceived and wrote Dune, an immense franchise that has been sweeping award after award for decades --using his father’s secret notes. But he's an old man now, and has overstayed his welcome. The Nobel Prize Committee of the Swedish Academy wants him to stop writing and turn over his secrets and techniques to them to control. Brian knows this would be most unwise.

When Brian refuses to resign, the Academy institutes a campaign against him, spreading lies, distortions, and half-truths that seriously damage his reputation. His popularity plummets, and millions of people crowd the streets of major cities, demonstrating against him.

Despite all the adversity, Brian returns to writing Dune VIII: Spice of Life, devoted to saving humanity from itself. The Academy can't remove him forcibly--without risking the loss of the critically acclaimed franchise.[...]”

The reviews of the new novel by the New York Times Bestselling Author of the DUNE Series, featuring an African American protagonist are IN:

quote:

OK, I bought this without thinking. I saw the author's name Herbert and the claim on the Amazon page "From the New York Times Bestselling author of the DUNE series comes a spectacular science fiction novel". Uh, Frank Herbert died in 1986, so this was some amazing work by the publisher. In any case, BRIAN Herbert appears to be Frank's son. I started reading this book and just couldn't square the amateurish writing with my recollection of the DUNE series, which was pretty amazing. I finally looked again and saw that the blurb on Amazon was untrue. Oh well... only .99 and now wiser.

What is the basis for this glowing recommendation?





Yes, @duneauthor has created a masterpiece of interracial, age gap, amputee erotic fiction. Father would be proud.

Oh and there are exciting DUNE movie news!

Edit: I’m sorry [Dune Thread], I’m fully aware that all of my posts in this thread are not related to True Dune Murderhead’s related stuff. Gonna catch a probe for real one of these days. To bring this back on track: I only read Dune 4-6 once and I should give them another go. I was probably too young for the God Emperor mindfucks at the time.
