Title: Full of padding and REALLY sloppy plot/character development
Review: Sorry to say, this is an obvious pay-per-page publisher's advance. Some good stuff but not nearly enough for the page count. Characters repeat their internal musings chapter after chapter. Multiple chapters are pointless idylls -- e.g., 20 pages on a fishing trip that does nothing to advance the plot. I finally gave up at 75%, when these lazy authors set up the following RIDICULOUS plot point.Duke Vernius has been renegade and successfully hiding on Arrakis and Salusa Secundus for 10 years. When he decides to repeat the nuclear disaster by attacking the Corrino home world, HE TELLS THE SMUGGLER WHY HE WANTS A BIG ASS CARGO SHIP.The writers got their money. I didn't get my money's worth.
