SPOILER ALERT.

So the 'sequals' to Dune are in fact really sequels to Anderson/Herbert Jr's prequels?!?

What?!!

The "lost outline" for the conclusion to the Dune series Frank Herbert wrote was all about tying up storylines from a series he didn't write? The myseries and dangling plot threads all tied into a backstory not even hinted at?!?

The Bulterian Jihad, that Frank Herbert never described and that only got a few passing mentions in the entirety of the Dune series was in fact the pivotal plot point of the entire fictional universe, and central to the conclusion of everything.

I find that all hard to swallow.

Kevin Anderson needs to make his money, I don't fault the man. It's Brian Herbert who's fisting his father's legacy.
