Oh yes Miles Teg was great to!
What about your favorite Dune book?

Dune is my overall favorite of the series, with Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune not far behind it.

I always favored Stilgar, actually.
To those who have read "Hunters" is it worthy of the Dune legacy? And this thing was supposed to be what, exactly, anyway? The continuation of Chapterhouse? Was this thing supposed to be Dune 7?

As far as what Hunters is supposed to be, it is a continuation from Chapterhouse, but on another level, it feels more like a sequel to the Machine Crusade that happens to mention to highlights of the original series. That's how I see it.

RE: Sands of Arrakis: The Works of Frank Herbert
My favorite character in the books so far is Paul’s second son Leto, but after he becomes the God Emperor.
I finally picked up my copy of
Heretics of Dune
and started reading it again. I started on it a couple of years ago, but had to put it on the shelf for awhile because I was going to college at night while working full time and had no time for recreational reading
. I also found the beginning of the story sluggish and the plots cumbersome and hard to follow. But now I am about a third of the way through and the pace is picking up. I still have a hard time following some of the arcs within the story, but not as much as when I first started it. I am really getting into it now.

I've only read the first two dune novels so far and i'm about to start on the third one. I think that it is an amazing series so far.

yes, keep reading. I am in the middle of
Heretics of Dune
right now. I wish I had more free time to read, I really want to see what happens next in this story. And then on to Chapterhouse!

Awesome. I'll definitely keep reading. I've heard that the God Emperor of Dune is pretty bizzare, but since I like bizzare stuff sometimes, i'll like it.

Jaden, I have heard that too. A lot of people have negative things to say about GEOD but it is my favorite out of all the Dune books so far
Maybe I am just bizarre
