![]() ![]() Fans of the various fantasy operas have always known that the Dune Universe is darker and more mature than the others. While this does spend time with Leto and Jessica on Caladan and provides more backstory, especially about the year or two preceding Dune, it was somewhat thin.Īctually, noteworthy was that this took a darker tone. This one … eh … not bad, but a little low on originality. I very much liked the last trilogy, the Schools of Dune, which takes place 10,000 years before this setting and was epic in scale and very well written. This is the first in a trilogy and I really think that as we turn the page on the third book here, The Heir of Caladan due out in 2022, we will be able to open up Frank’s 1965 masterpiece and keep going. We come to Brian and Kevin’s latest Dune novel, Duke of Caladan, which takes place immediately before the events of Frank’s original. I think Boz Scaggs may have been a Frank Herbert / Dune fan: ![]()
