	Frank Herbert's seventh Dune novel
		I have always believed that last two books that Frank Herbert wrote before his death were going to be part of a trilogy, and that he already had written down the global outline of the third book of that trilogy.
		And although this interpretation is strengthed by the Eulogy for Beverly by Frank in the back of the book, it would not surprise me, that he has put this in, with the thought in mind that he might not be able to finish his last book in the series.
		Herbert does create some additional suspense through this character, but it is more of a decoy (with nothing behind) then anything substantial.

		Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’; still holds a reputation as one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written, and while this product of the ‘60’s may inevitably be starting to feel a little creaky with age it still holds up remarkably well today.
		Comparisons with the Lord Of The Rings in the level of detailed world-building are overstated, but Herbert does provide a good background both for Arrakis itself and the various powers that fight for dominance of the planet.
		Where Herbert got the idea for them I don’t know but they take the book to such a higher level that any comparison with Lawrence of Arabia seems redundant and misguided.

	Frank Herbert interview from 1969 \| MetaFilter
		I was sad when Herbert died, as I wanted to read the next 6 or 7 books in the series.
		I had an experience much like the one 'rdone' reports, at age 12 or so, when I discovered that 'hajj' and 'taqwa' were not words that Herbert had invented for the purpose of advancing his story.
		My sense is that Herbert drew upon a grab bag of exsiting Islamic--that is to say, Arabic language--concepts to flesh out a ripping yarn about interstellar holy war.
