I've read the first Dune saga book Some years back and I did not liked it that much to try next ones. Maybe now I should give the series another attempt but currently I'm sticking to non-fiction.

The writing is not as good as Frank Herbert, but they do fill in details of the Dune universe. I'm finding many interesting connections to current events as well. For example, the thinking machines created a plague to wipe out humanity. The Sorceresses of Rossak (pre-cursor to the Bene Gesserit) used it as a pretense to collect massive amounts of genetic information.
