a series on the Butlerian Jihad would be pretty fucken sweet I think

I thought that as well and so gave the prequels a try.

I’ve never read the prequels either,

Honestly, that was for the best. The writing was ok but a pale shadow of the original. (think the film version of LOTR vs The Hobbit...)

It was interesting seeing some of it fleshed out, but I'm not a fan of Brian Herbert's contributions.
