I think "naib" is straight from the first part of The Sabres of Paradise, much like a lot of fremen stuff.

There aren't any other Dune books than the one Frank Herbert wrote, as well as the Dune Encyclopedia :colbert:

I'm about a hundred pages in. I picked up because I'm interested in seeing where they take the (maybe) upcoming TV series. I've never read anything else by Brian Herbert.

It's - okay? It's not bad, but it's very far from great. It's pretty much at the level of quality of a decent 40K novel; basically entertaining, but don't expect anything you'll remember a week later.

Sounds like hot garbage and a waste of time OP.

Frank Herbert Dune is only barely a step up from Brian/KJA Dune anyway. It's fine to enjoy terrible things, which includes Dune.
