As I started reading the Hunters of Dune, I thought it was just a sequel to Chapterhouse. I have just reached the end, and I now know that the term ‘sequel’ is not a completely accurate description. It is a sequel involving all the details that went into the Dune prequels. The entire original Dune series is complete in itself, and the new Dune books are more like a wrapper series.
I enjoyed The Hunters Of Dune, and I have enjoyed all the new Dune books. I can’t really discuss my feelings about this book because no one I know has read it. But I had really liked the ending of Chapterhouse, and I just don’t see how that can be done again.
The real reason I’m writing is to tell people this: If you haven’t been keeping up with the saga, this book is not a good point to jump in.

So you’re saying I really do need to get back and read the earliest three books sometime here?
Such a long queue…
Yes. Aren’t there 6 prequels though?
Yes, but I read the other three already.
