A smile painted Alia's generous lips, "Ah-h-h but you see? The trained Atreides house ferrets will thwart any attempt to assassinate me with animals." Duncan Idaho frowned as he calculated the possible outcomes to this revelation, "But what will keep them from breeding out of control in the palace?" "Why, the tigers will keep them in check, Duncan." "Laza Tigers." corrected Ghanima Ignoring the child, Duncan pressed, "And their numbers?" Alia waved away all concerns, "The sandworms will eat the tigers, Duncan." "But then the palace will be overrun with sandworms!" roared Duncan, karakul curls all in disarray. It pained him to see his love like this. The marks of possession were all about her. "Why Duncan," she crooned baronishly, "The irreversible course of terraforming of Arrakis will kill all the sandworms." He exhaled a breath, stepping backward, "Kull wahad..."

Used copies on amazon are pretty decently priced, just ordered one of those. And my fifth or sixth copy of Dune, I leant another copy out that I will never get back now. I have to stop doing that.

A few days ago I reread The Tactful Saboteur and I love all the weird aliens that he comes up with. Some authors make aliens humanoid for the most part, but Frank's get weirder and weirder the longer the story goes. By the Dosadi Experiment, the Consentiency has so many glimpses into aliens and their cultures that they can each be a plot device in themselves. I especially like the half-vegetable guys who basically act as transdimentional switchboards and somewhat detest other creatures for always plonking them down on desks to make their calls. "What's up, Xxzillikloporopp?" "Not much, these loving monkeys just plonked me on a desk again. Is Mr. Jones around?"

I haven't looked at any non-Dune work of Frank Herbert's, but interesting that he went from a sci-fi universe conspicuously without any aliens but distinct cultures of humans, to one with various extremely different species of aliens. (or vice versa) You don't often see much sci-fi where all the aliens are that alien. Closest I can think of is Animorphs, extra unusually for a YA series, where the MOST human-like aliens are shapeshifting mouthless scorpion-tailed centaurs.

(or vice versa) If you like his writing, you might like his non-Dune stuff too. Soul Catcher, White Plague, Godmakers were all really interesting reads. Some of 'em are pretty pulpy, but I enjoy that personally. My favorite has to be Hellstrom's Hive. So many people tell me that they liked Animorphs as kids and they were all people I liked and whose opinions I respected. Contrarian young me though didn't like any books they sold at book fairs, because anything coming from school is just a reminder of school. Looking back, I bet I would have liked them. That's a handsome boy. (I've been corrected, it is apparently a girl)

I read 20 or so as a kid, and it was light reading I could pick up at any time so I blasted through in about a week. The middle books are bad (including the infamous almost retconed Cassie book) but the last 10 are actually quite mature the heroes giving morphing to a bunch of disabled kids and use them as shock troops and also quite deep as they go into the lasting effects of waging a guerilla war for 5 years or so as teenagers. In the end most of the heroes end up completely hosed up.

I fell off them at around book 30 (my growing dislike of them back in the day seemed to kick in around when it went to all ghostwriters all the time) and heard the same thing. It was not a direction I expected the fun sci-fi romp I remembered going in, then I remembered even the early books were pretty hosed up, with aliens that were so hungry all the time they’d eat themselves and young teenagers torturing an alien over three days as it starved to death.
