Paul of Dune by Brian Herbert
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
For a McDune novel, it is not bad. This covers a period of time after the first Dune and the (not so strong) Dune Messiah. The plot includes some classic machinations of Hakonnens vs. Atreides, some aspects of the relationship between Paul and his father, and most importantly, Muad'Dib's growth into the ruler of the known universe. There are two or three near climax moments in the story that provide some excitement and keep you going, but overall, it's a bland book that you don't regret and don't celebrate having read.
