…a bit of a minority in most discussions in that I enjoyed Heretics and Chapterhouse for the galactic scale threat introduced and additional world building elements, and I even enjoyed (to some extent) Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson as a "best we could do" finale. I do think that the time skips and lack of original resolution hampered Heretics and Chapterhouse a little,…
Revelation Space, by Alastair Reynolds - Quirky sci-fi novel with a xenoarchaeology angle Hunters of Dune, by Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson - I'm not recommending this one on the basis of the writing. I'd recommend it only to those who read all of Frank Herbert's original Dune series and have been hanging…
My top fiction books this year: * City and the Stars - Arthur C. Clarke * The Master Magician - Charlie N. Holmberg * The Algebraist - Iain M. Banks * Hunters of Dune - Brian Herbert (in progress) Non Fiction Pick: * Command and Control - Eric Schlosser
……去区分弗兰克·赫伯特的《沙丘》（它推演了许多东西，包括在计算机 AI 奴役人类又被推翻后会存在一个怎样的宇宙）和布莱恩·赫伯特与凯文·J·安德森的《沙丘猎鹰》（这就是本烂书，套了个科幻皮却根本没什么深刻的推演）。仔细想想，创办一家研发新产品的公司，本质上就是在做推演……
…of distinguishing between Dune by Frank Herbert (which speculates about many things, including the kind of universe that exists after a computer AI suppresses the human race and is then overthrown) and Hunters of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J.

……在大多数讨论中我算是个少数派，因为我很喜欢《沙丘异端》和《沙丘圣殿》，主要是喜欢它们引入的银河级威胁以及补充的世界观设定；甚至布莱恩·赫伯特和凯文·J·安德森写的《沙丘猎鹰》和《沙丘沙虫》，我也觉得还凑合，权当是一个“尽力而为”的收尾吧。我确实觉得时间跳跃以及缺乏原作者的终局交代对《异端》和《圣殿》有点损害，……

阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹（Alastair Reynolds）的《天启空间》（Revelation Space）——带有外星考古视角的古怪科幻小说。《沙丘猎鹰》（布莱恩·赫伯特与凯文·J·安德森著）——我推荐这本可不是因为它的文笔。我只把它推荐给那些读完了弗兰克·赫伯特全部原版沙丘系列、而且心里一直惦记着……的人。
