sir_willyam's review against another edition
After 5 great books of fun, philosophical Sci-Fi, I began getting turned off to Frank Herbert’s storytelling because of his heavy use of sex as a plot-device in Heretics of Dune. In this book, the same plot devices are evident, and the inclusion of a fossilized society of practicing Jews based in anti-Semitic stereotypes really soured the fun, thoughtful adventure I was having with the series. I’m reluctant to DNF, but with no conclusion by the first author himself, I’d rather stop at a point where I still appreciate what I’ve read.
