I really loved Romero's work. And who knows, maybe this will be great. But then again, it might be like Brian Herbert's Dune novels - a shameless, mediocre cash grab built on top of his father's estate.
Either way, I stand by what I said: enough with the torch passing. This ain't a family business.
So, although I don't disagree, can we at least come to the table and agree that "dune" was done by god emperor, and anything past that was silly?
God Emperor is where I always finish my rereads.
Agree on the silliness. Still loved Darwi Odrade as a character.
And Brian's best work doesn't come close to Heretics, which for me was the weakest of all of Frank's books. It's like a cargo cult construction, all cardboard and no substance.
