Does anyone have some information on any books after the fourth
DUNE book entitled "God Emperor of Dune". I just read through
all four books and am breaking out in hives waiting to see how
the next one will be.
Later much...

"Heretics of Dune" should be out in paperback shortly.
There is a sixth book in the works, I forget the title.

The fifth DUNE book is called "HERETICS OF DUNE" and has been out
since early 1984 in hardcover. I don't think it is in trade or
regular paperback just yet.
There is, believe it or not, a 6th volume coming out this spring,
called "CHAPTERHOUSE: DUNE". This one (#6) is supposed going to
finally END the "DUNE saga". (This has been said before!)
In closing I include my favourite quote of Frank Herbert:
"I'm still against the idea of sequels in principle, because it's
like watering down your wine all the time until you're left with just
water."
Frank Herbert,
author of
DUNE
DUNE MESSIAH
CHILDREN OF DUNE
GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE
HERETICS OF DUNE
and CHAPTERHOUSE:DUNE

I just wanted to let it be known that "Heritics of Dune" is out in paperback. I spotted them on March 5. I can't say anything about the book yet, but I'm sure it will probably be the worst of the five. (going downhill all the time) I would be glad if there were no more Dune books comeing since I hate hereing reviews of a new hardback since none of my friends are fool enough to buy the thing. -- C knows no bounds.

I just saw an ad that it's now available in paperback. I haven't read it, though...I'm waiting for the SF Book Club to offer it.

I read Dune *many* years ago and liked it very much. I have read none of the sequels until recently. I started the second book and thought it stunk. However, I have read "Heretics of Dune". It wasn't bad at all. In fact, I liked it. Not great literature, and a little confusing, but a nice story. (I didn't buy the hardback. I borrowed it.) "Don't argue with a fool.
