Not the final in the series, but my final read of Dune books

Children of Dune, Dune #3 by Frank Herbert

We’re not that far ahead in time after Dune Messiah. For a recap – at the end of Messiah Paul kinda just wandered away into the desert after Chani died in childbirth. It’s not a spoiler for Children of Dune, but totally for Messiah. If you’re reading this review, I really hope you’ve read Messiah, or just don’t care if you’re spoiled! Paul Muad’Dib’s kids Leto and Ghanima are under the care of their aunt Alia. She’s kinda crazy though. She is the same “type” […]

FYI – doing a search for “Parasite” on Amazon brings up some really weird choices:    and  Am I not properly cleansing myself of intestinal worms?  It freaked me out a little bit.  Anyway… the book: I really liked this book. I had read a sample of this book a while ago from Amazon. I was so interested, but since I read so many books, I’m kind of a cheap-o. Enter my library! I was so excited when I saw they had this book. I […]
