HBO started production on a prequel, Dune: the Sisterhood, based on the Brian Hebert books, I haven't read them, only read the first six by Frank Hebert, but just based on the twist in book five, the origin story of the Bene Gesserit could be bonkers.

The problem is that Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have turned out 20ish volumes of bad fanfic.

(I have nothing against good fanfic.)

Brian Herbert has done more violence to the Dune universe than I ever would’ve thought possible.

Kevin Anderson is a mediocre sci-fi writer, but those books are so much worse than his worse non-Dune books.

I read the first Brian Herbert book when it came out. Didn't bother with any since (life is too short).
