If your regular Geek's Guide to the Galaxy listener, please rate and review us on

Apple Podcasts. And I want to give a special thank you to Real Misery in the

Netherlands, who just gave us this five-star review. It says,

I have no idea how I came across Geek's Guide earlier this year.

It has very quickly become my favorite show.

I've discovered many brilliant authors that I hadn't heard of before.

One that comes to mind is Ada Palmer, interviewed in episode 495.

What a genius writer.

It doesn't stop with new authors. The discussions about various series and movies are incredibly

informative, often hilarious. David Bart curtly is so well read, I learned something from every

show. Also appreciate the efforts of John Joseph

Adams and the regular panelists. I am working through the backlog on to episode

475 as I write this. So big thanks again to real misery for that great review.

All right, so now let's Guide to the Galaxy. And here is your host, David Barr-Kirtley.

Hello, and welcome to episode 559 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show we'll be discussing Frank Herbert's classic novel Children of Dune,

the third book in the Dune series.

And we previously discussed the first two books back in episodes 417 and 537, so definitely

check those out if you miss them.

And this will include spoilers for everything in Children of Dune, so just be aware of that, and I'm joined by three guests.

So first up we've got Andrea Kale, making her 33rd appearance on the show.

She's a graduate of the Odyssey Writers Workshop, and her short fiction appears in the Writers of the Future anthology, Fantasy magazine, and Lightspeed.
