Just finished Children of Dune by Frank Herbert. That is the 3rd book of the Dune series and was shockingly good.

So I figured I read the 3rd to see if, as sometimes happens, the series just continues going downhill after the first. It didn't. The 3rd was just as good as the 1st.
herbert has an insanely complex mind ...
i think he made the first few books accessable but he later allows his books to go deep into his vision of a possible future ..he sees it like he's already been there.

I dont think i've read any other author who sees the impossible so clearly.
