And now a word from Uncle Frank
I’ve been a fan of Frank Herbert’s Dune saga since I was a teenager, but I’ve never read it all the way through. So I was pretty excited when my seven-year-old son Zeph gave me all six books for Christmas this year. (Truth be told, I actually found the books in a thrift store and then secretly gave them to my wife and suggested that she have Zeph give them to me for Christmas…) At any rate, I’m nearly finished the second book, Dune Messiah, Each chapter begins with a quote from a fictional history of Dune.
