I read all of FH's books, and tried a couple of those written since his passing, but I couldn't get past the inconsistencies which were introduced.
The first book definitely stands apart since it was heavily edited by John Campbell, and was pretty much directly copied from Lesley Blanch's _The Sabres of Paradise_ --- anyone who enjoyed the first book and is curious about the wellspring of it is encouraged to read that.

I am in the middle of Butlerian Jihad, which is the second, chronologically, in Karellen's list that I'm using as a guide. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I like this so far. I had heard that the expanded universe books were terrible. Maybe they are and I have bad taste, but so far, with the first short story and this first book, I've been enjoying myself quite a bit with this. Thanks again, Karellen, for the list, it's helpful as I organize these stories and novels in Calibre.

You are welcome. Went to buy the pbook a couple of days ago. Wanted to add it to my collection of Dune novels. Two bookstores - not available in Australia, no release date available!!! Really?!? Not going to capture the hype for the upcoming Dune movie?? |

Every time I see this, I wonder why it's not called Dune-iverse?
