Welcome to now playing podcast book reviews. From fiction to non-fiction, graphic novels and more. We're here to help you find something great to read. We hope you enjoy

the show. Hello now playing listeners, it's your faithful host Stuart, practically jumping

for joy as I welcome you back to now playing book review, and back to Frank Herbert's Duniverse for a sixth, perhaps a final time.

While it's true that this novel I'm here to cover, not a particularly upbeat affair, I might even be inclined to describe

Chapter House Dune as a 433-page slog, yet I can't help feeling a little bit festive a little bit giddy because

today's review complete submission I started seven years ago right around this time back in

2017 spring I wanted to give listeners a complete overview

of the Planet Iraqis, as conceived by its creator Frank Herbert.

Well, friends, we've reached the end of that golden path.

We're unraveling the final mysteries of that illustrious sci-fi saga with this show.

Although technically speaking, the story of planet Doom

actually wrapped up last book I didn't want to spoil it but the ending it was crazy

heretics of Doom I try not to spoil the endings of books on the reviews of that book, but buckle up because here it comes now.

It's a doozy.

In the final pages of Scattered Totally Bonkers Heretics of Doom, A character mentions just in passing by the way

Aracas or Aracas. Whatever you want to call the planet the only planet

that's ever mattered in this saga the the spice-making desert planet, it got blown up good by the space

horse, killing everyone and everything on the surface, which is like a whole o mg you're kidding me

Frank Herbert really has more dune story to tell when he wiped out

spice and worms and maybe the entire atradies line because, well, our Atradis character for Book 5 was Miles Tegg,

the heroic descendant of the clan who was on the surface and he was killed on Rachis too? Wow. Okay. Well, damn, that sounds like

one hell of a way to shake things up and get readers started in a new creative direction.
