I have never read a solo Brian Herbert effort, thus I generally blame the abomination that are the
Dune prequels on his traditionally awful collaborator, Kevin J. Anderson. I will add that the
Dune prequels, although without doubt having the pungent stench of Anderson's complete inability to write a compelling book, it also has a unique stink to it that may indeed be Herbert, or perhaps one Anderson saves only for his
Dune work.
Does he write as well as his father?
I can't imagine thats possible. Anyone who consistently needs Kevin J. Anderson's assistance, can't possibly be in the same class as Frank Hebert IMHO.
I really enjoyed The Dune Series, and wondered if this would be a good follow up
I hate to use the same word twice, but its the word that really just thunders in my mind when I think about the several
Dune books Anderson and Herbert have written -
abomination. They basically adapted
Dune into the very worst of
Star Wars novelization quality rubbish, that Anderson is the master of producing. It compeltely baffles me that out of all the writers one could have attracted with this project many years ago - the son would choose Anderson,
I
love Dune, but the only
Dune I recognize is written by Frank Herbert. The prequels are just
awful IMHO
