Yeah, I can't argue that. I did read all of the "Dune" prequels - I keep reading them hoping that some spark will reveal itself, some indication that his son finally "gets him" and can bring the original story to a close. But it just doesn't look like that's going to happen. The new novels are sci-fi pulp pure and simple. There's nothing inherently bad about that - I'll happily devour "Star Trek" and "John Carter" books by the dozen - but it is a crying shame.
