It was other people that wrote prequels to Dune, and while I did take out House:Harkonen and House:Atredies from the library, I never read them!
What are they like?
I have read every book in the Dune series written by Frank himself.
While the first one was far and away the best, the rest were at least interesting reading for a die-hard fan.
I read Frank Herbert's Destination:Void and don't know why I didn't pass out or give up. It was like reading a two hundred+ page mathematical proof in prose with characters and a sci-fi setting thrown in for no reason. I still don't understand what he wrote, but I was aware that he was deriving theorems from basic facts or axioms and building up to a giant conclusion, but it made no sense to me whatsoever.
After that, I find myself a bit afraid to read the other non-Dune Herbert books.
