On the latest Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast I discuss Frank Herbert’s third Dune novel: Children of Dune with Andrea Kail, Rajan Khanna, myself, and David Barr Kirtley. Wow, was this crazy fun to talk about. Lots of strong opinions here!
Here’s an excerpt from my comments:
I found myself at times just blown away by how deep and resonant and powerful the ideas are, and just the depth of thought that Herbert put into this, and just going back and reviewing all the plot threads and how they fit together, and how he had to plan that from the beginning, and just the philosophical undertones of it. … I almost feel like Herbert himself is taking spice and seeing the future of humanity. This book feels real. It feels like it’s a lived-in world. When you read this book you experience it along with the characters, and it is so vivid and so real in my mind. I think it’s as good as the first book.
