Mentats of Dune (2014)

A new tale of Frank Herbert's Dune Universe by son Brain and co-author Kevin J. Anderson. Echos of today's tea party can be detected in the emotion Butlerians and their leader, the legless Manford Torondo whose "sacred" mission is to eliminate the last remnants of the tyranny of "thinking machine...

Hellhole - The Awakening (2013)

I think it's important that you come to the Hellhole trilogy with certain expectations. I'm not used to the style of writing Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert did on this trilogy, so I ended up feeling the first novel was kind of slow, with promise of a lot more to come in the sequels. And even...

Book

Hunters of Dune (2006)

The entire exercise is a bait and switch: Chapterhouse ends famously with Marty & Daniel reflecting:"That would've been funny. They have such a hard time accepting that Face Dancers can be independent of them." "I don't see why. It's a natural consequence. They gave us the power to absorb the me...

Book

Sidney's Comet (2007)

...The novel contains so man impossibilities and absurdities that the only way for it to work is for the satire to grab the reader. For me it didn't. I got the impression that Herbert was aiming at something of a cross between Kafka and the kind of humour his father employed in his short story th...

Book

The Race for God (1990)

The problem that I have with Brian Herbert is that his ideas have such potential that he is either unwilling or unable to explore fully. His concepts are strong and start off going in an interesting direction, but end up falling short. Though fun to read at times, "The Race For God" is full of ...

Book

Memorymakers (1991)

Memorymakers tells the story of an ancient race of beings called the Ch’Var, who live among humans. They look like humans, act like humans, talk like humans. Their appetites, though, are anything but human.First of two collaborations between Brian Herbert and his cousin Marie Landis.

House Corrino (2002)

“A roundtable discussion leading up to the publication of Dune: House Crappito” (April 2001):Publisher: Welcome gentlemen. So we've read the draft for the fifth novel in your Prelude to Dune series, and we'd like—Anderson: Third actually.Publisher: Excuse me?Herbert: It's the third in the seri...

Book

The Battle of Corrin (2005)

This was by far the best of this trilogy, and the first half of the book felt exceptionally good. The epidemic the machines released on the human empire felt like something machines would do, and the chapters seeing the planet infected fall apart were incredibly haunting, perhaps the passages th...

Timeweb (2006)

Book

House Atreides (2000)

The Brian Herbert-Kevin J. Anderson Dune books are quite polarizing. After having read this book, I find some of the criticism valid. But it's also clear that the authors did try to flesh out the Dune universe in a way that would satisfy Frank Herbert. They're clearly not quite as good with the a...

Poking his head out of the bunker-like facility, he saw an unfamiliar shape on the nearby hillside, covered in snow.
