Maybe Dreamer should be moved to a new category (Published Non-Fiction?) or the title changed to "Published Works"? Also, no mention yet of The Road to Dune? (I haven't read the biography but am now reading Road; would consider editing but don't trust myself: I'm one of the hardcore FH fans who consider the prequels (and upcoming sequels?) to be pure crap.) RJCraig 05:46, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
The parts of Road actually written by FH are interesting, but make up too small a percentage of the book; I never finished the BH/KJA sections and so haven't added anything here. (The usual dross, as expected, if the bits I have skimmed are representative....)
[Question originally here moved to new section below.] RJCraig 08:45, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Is no one going to address the organizational problems? Where to stick Road? Under works by Frank Herbert, by Brian or Kevin Anderson? Or under all three? RJCraig 10:51, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Somebody, is really down on this guy. Chistopher Tolkien is not a writer (he's a money grubber) but these books are brilliantly done and great reads. I like them better than the origials by Frank Herbert who was too technical for his own good. Frank Herbert was confusing and as a result very hard to read... I like Brian Herbert's stuff. Its more accessable and more interesting. I've read each of them twice for pleasure, not because it didn't make any sense if I didn't. --merlinus 11:50, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
De gustibus non est disputandum. All a matter of taste, isn't it? Some prefer a fine, full-bodied wine (Herbert Senior), others grape cool-aid. Sure, the latter won't give you a headache, but the sugary aftertaste is a bit sick-making. RJCraig 23:53, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Was the reason he and Kevin stopped writing the Heroes of Dune series because of it's low rateings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.45.26 (talk) 13:28, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Not a regular contributor to wikipedia, don't have an account or anything. But seriously? No mention of the contempt with which Brian's Dune books are held by lots of people? A common assumption is that they are nothing but a money grab that profanes, what is for many, a spiritual work of art. Good grief, google "Brian Herbert ruined Dune". There's even a comic strip about it on Penny Arcade. There have been images made to express the contempt and hatred people feel for Brian Herberts ham-fisted ruination of the Dune mythos. I get that some people like the Star-Wars easier read. It should really be acknowledged, though, how many hardcore fans are pissed.
Must be astroturfing going on here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.88.94.254 (talk) 03:24, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
I would say 9 out of 10 Dune fans hate the Expanded Dune and say it isn't cannon. --124.148.84.69 (talk) 13:26, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
In the article it states
On March 18 I asked
I'll concede that something like what they describe must exist, but I think the following is relevant re the wording of the above from the main article. I've just found this in an interview with BH & KJA:
In light of this, shouldn't we change the "so far unpublished" to something like "unlikely to be published"? RJCraig 12:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Brian Herbert is listed as a "Seattle Area" writer in the PI's Northwest Science Fiction list [1]. So I added appropriate category tags. Brianhe 04:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

It is simply not believable that among all the well-elaborated revulsion of BH and KJA's Dune-brand collaborations from committed and articulate fans that NONE of that would have filtered into their Wikipedia entries. This lacuna is another clear indicator of interested parties manipulating and sanitizing Wikipedia. (It's too bad, but Jimmy Wales' grand project has become a morass of perception management.) I can think off-hand of multiple sources that speak to the low regard in which these works are held; how could no-one more motivated and interested before me have failed to do so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.82.230 (talk) 14:37, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Dear Brian. Your father died before Dune was written. I wrote Dune. How about you call me and stop hiding. Yours truly. David James Stevenson. Time to pay the piper. 174.251.67.167 (talk) 18:30, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
