Title: Fundamentally flawed Dune series
Review: I have enjoyed all the Dune books by Frank Herbert. But these new books by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson are fundamentally flawed.In the original Dune books, we were made to understand that the spice Melange is the most important substance in the universe because the Spacing Guild require it to fold space. Without Melange, space folding is not possible and thus space travel will take many many light years. The result, commerce will collapse and the Galactic Empire will disintegrate into chaos.In the Legends of Dune series, Machines and humans are able to wage numerous wars in different star systems at reasonably short periods of time. Trade of slaves, light globes and even spice is thriving. All these achieved even before Space Folding is invented and without the existence of the SPacing Guild.I'm rating the book only 1 star because the authors have decided to throw the basic concepts of the original Dune books out of the window.
