Heretics is the first book that I'm struggling to get into. Is the story really weak? Does it get better?

Heretics starts slow but I think its story is ok once poo poo starts to go down.

very late edit: read until you get to the phrase “brooding hypnobong proprietor”. If you don’t like the book by then you have my permission to transcend into the alam al mithal

There's some real goofy poo poo in Dune's afterword written by @duneauthor.

quote:

Earlier in Dune, Frank Herbert had modeled Lady Jessica Atreides after Beverly Herbert, with her dignified, gentle ways of influence, and even her prescient abilities, which my mother actually possessed. He also wrote of "Lady Jessica's latent (prophetic) abilities," and in this he was describing my mother, thinking of all the amazing paranormal feats she had accomplished in her lifetime."

quote:

In Children of Dune, Leto II allowed sandtrout to attach themselves to his body, and this was based in part upon my father's own experiences as a boy growing up in Washington State, when he rolled up his trousers and waded into a stream or lake, permitting leeches to attach themselves to his legs.

quote:

In large part these human calculators were based upon my father's paternal grandmother, Mary Stanley, an illiterate Kentucky hill-woman who performed incredible mathematical calculations in her head.

quote:

[Kevin J. Anderson and I] envision other projects in the future, but all of them must measure up to the lofty standard that my father established with his own novels. When all of the good stories have been told, the series will end.

Is there some goofy legal poo poo like the Fantastic Four / Xmen + Fox contract, or the Spider-man + Sony contract where @duneauthor just needs to write a garbage book every 5 years to perpetually renew guardianship of the license or something?

You know how Leto II was such a overbearing tyrant, he taught humanity to never, ever submit to another single ruler with so much centralised power? After @duneauthor stops writing lovely dune books, humanity will rise up and ban crappy fanfic forever, lest we suffer another millennium in bondage to incidental Star Wars characters and evil robots with improbable names.
