I always enjoy these prequels to the Dune saga (

This may possibly be my favorite Dune trilogy so far. Such a cool setup with Manfred (Trump) and his anti-progress cultists trying to take control and Venport (Elon) and his huge ego and resources trying to take control, and then the emperor (Biden) in the middle trying to hold the universe together but not having the resources to do it. I'm not sure where the Sisterhood comes in as far as current political connections, but it was really cool to see them forming into the institution we all know and love.

Also very cool to see the beginnings of the Suk doctors and the navigators, plus a bunch of swordmaster stuff in the first book. This trilogy had me on the edge of my seat and threw at least a couple of surprises at me that I definitely didn't expect. (

I liked this one because of the feud between the Atreides and Harkonnens focus. I can easily see future novels written by these authors following the adventures and squabbles of Valya, Tula and Danvis Harkonnen and Willem Atreides who will clearly earn favor with the Emporer and marry a princess.
The rest of the novel, like 95% was boring abd predictable. (
