Re: Scan finished!
You know, I was going to give PoD a chance, if it was going to focus on the story inbetween Dune and DM. But that asshat KJA just had to include his own worthless character into the storyline!Freakzilla wrote:I decided around this time last year that it would be best for my sanity if I left it up to others to do the dirty work of reading this pulp crap.

But, according to Star Wars fans, this is what he does. KJA's writing includes trying to out-do the universe he is writing within. I equate his Dune crap with the superweapon he invented in his Star Wars novels that was BIGGER and BADDER than the original Death Star!

Well, the last straw for me was the Paul of Dune excerpt in which KJA has Paul have a vision/memory of Serena Butplug. I'm tired of how KJA tries to insert his characters and ideas into Dune. After reading that I'm not going to read any more of his hijacking of FH's work!Lisan Al-Gaib wrote:I agree with you.

I was expecting at least he would make a book only about the Jihad battles in the Imperium, and Paul watching them, or something like that. I could read the book if would be only that.
But, no. He have to insert his fucking characters, disfigure Muad'dib and his visions and his intentions.
I lost all my pacience with that guy. I'm running from every SF universe he put his hands. Seriously. I'm reading the first book of Thrawn trilogy in SW EU, and when I discovery that KJA wrote so many books on it, and make essential part of EU, I loose my erection.
My hobbies can't coexist with KJA existence.

The problem is that KJA is an attention whore, he is so sick that he needs to be remembered like an equal to Asimov, Herbert, Clarke or Bradbury.
I read some of his work in the SW universe and read the 6 prequels and Hunters and Sandworms, and there is one thing that is common to both.
He need to create a story that covers thousands and thousands of year, he want to create mega saga like Foundation...and in its core Foundation is very similar to Dune...keep reading
As like some of you know, The first book (foundation) was really 3 stories publicated in some sci-fi magazine, later it was made into one book (hint, hint) of course 40 years later no one remembers that thing and everyone thinks that it was written like one book.
Many, many years later Asimov closed the saga tieing the Robots Era, with the Elijah Baley saga, the Early Empire saga and the Foundation books, altough those books weren't that perfect like the orginals, they blend very well in the masterpiece he created, a saga of like 20 books with a story that covers from now to 30000 years in the future.
KJA wants to do te same, in 10 years there will be like 5 or 6 more Dune books, maybe ''Harum of Dune'', ''Agamemmnon of Dune'', ''The last granddaughter of Duncan Idaho the Kwisatz HAderach of Dune'', etc.
The only difference is that will be a mismash of crap he will fill the new Dune books with the info necessary, so if anyone choose, wont have the need to read the 6 original ones, everything will be explained in these new books (prequels, inquels, sequels, etc.)
The worst thing, in 15 years or 20 when asked in a library about the saga Dune this will be answered:
''Yes, that saga is like 30 books written by KJA and BH and containing 6 books in the middle written by FH, father of BH, if you want them start reading this one ''Harum of Dune'', i suggest reading them in chronological order''
The fuckers will dilute FH's work raping his universe and adding his work as a mere foot note.

Seriously, i dont know if that fucker does it on purpose or if it's his idea of brilliant writting . Either way i wouldnt give two inches of a dead dog's cock for his writting.But, no. He have to insert his fucking characters, disfigure Muad'dib and his visions and his intentions.
And i just saw that link to DN that the Dukester posted and immediatley laughed at Byron's talk: "I'm reading an ARC copy of Paul of Dune, and I think it's the best thing Brian and KJA have written. Amazing!"
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! My god i still cant believe he actually said that!

Absolutely correct, what KJA is referring to here is obviously the Oracle (of time) as opposed to the way that FH used the term, meaning any prescient.Secher_Nbiw wrote:The Oracle in PoD and the prequels/sequels is used to reference the Normacle.
