    Whilst Dune was a five star read, Dune Messiah was disappointing so, not continuing with the series, I am not familiar with Brian except for his reputation on the web which has been consistently as opined in James'
    review. I was surprised to read the following from Fantastic Fiction.
    "Brian Herbert is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers. He
    has won a number of literary honors including the New York Times Notable
    Book Award, and has been nominated for the highest awards in science
    fiction."
    I had no idea that he had been so productive not just on his Dune
    series. His publishers must be making money?
