After reading 4 disappointing books in a row, I am happy to report I've read 3 good ones back to back. I think I mentioned David Ellis somewhere in this thread. He has written on his own and also with James Patterson.
-Eye of the Beholder -Life Sentence -In the Company of Liars. I'm almost done with this one. It's blowing me away. I can't put it down. The story is told backwards or I guess reverse chronological order. I love this guys writing style.

Just finished all 6 books in Jack Campbell's - Lost Fleet series. Very enjoyable and there are spin offs I may tackle at some point.
With the film about to come out - Starting the Dune series of books - Just the main 8 (I gather there is loads of side stuff as well). |

As long as you read Dune you can follow the movie. The movie will help immensely with pronunciation of names!

Production value is quite high to as they have different voice actors for some of the main characters. As for the books - the 200 hours of listening i've got is as follows: DUNE 1965 - Frank Herbert DUNE Messiah 1969 - Frank Herbert Children of DUNE 1976 - Frank Herbert God Emperor of DUNE 1981 - Frank Herbert Heretics of DUNE 1984 - Frank Herbert Chapterhouse: DUNE 1985 - Frank Herbert Hunters of DUNE 2006 - Brian Herbert & Keven J. Anderson Sandworms of DUNE 2007 - Brian Herbert & Keven J. Anderson I`m about to tackle the oil pan gasket on my n54 so that should see me through at least one book Have you read any/all of these? Any favs? Last edited by Chapperss; 08-10-2021 at 01:50 PM.. |

I have read every other splinter grouping that Herbert/Anderson have written. Outside of the original Dune, those two write better stories than Frank Herbert. |

One of my younger brothers published his first novel in physical form as he is finishing his last year of his bachelor's degree in English Literature. Probably going to read that next, just got my copy in the mail the other day.

I'm reading the downloaded version from Apple. I'd rather have the paperback though.

Thank you for this suggestion. I'm really enjoying it, great read. I started it Friday night and I'm almost done. I didn't think I'd like it, I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Gave up on Dune for now - Almost done the entire Awaken Online series by Travis Bagwell. Just got Tarot Inferno and Hellion to go.
It`s a story of realistic VR and the worlds first true AI that runs the world. The VR world is one of magic and dungeons and lots of fighting/action. |
