Is this page meant to be a review or a factual article of character, plot summary, et cetera?

(March 10, 2006) factual article of character, plot summary, I say. I erased the reviews. This page is still waiting for actual information about it. Anyone read this book (I'm on the first).

I have removed the {{unencyclopedic}} tag as this is obviously an encyclopedic topic. It does need cleanup and expansion though. Sadly, I have only read Dune through Chapterhouse.

Things to do:

• 1. Make an infobox, or use it if there already is one
  2. Basic plot overview (setting, time, characters)
  3. Reasons why it is not considered canon(? This might be better covered elsewhere unless this book also has specific contradictions.)

Removed the comment: "However, "canoness" is not determined by fans but instead the living heirs to the Dune series." which ended the introduction; that's a bit over the edge for bias as it's essentially just stating the opposing view. They hold the rights to Dune but that's not the same thing.AM2783 17:32, 6 April 2006

The only Dune canon is Frank Herbert's six Dune novels, and it is the height of arrogance if his sons make any cliam that they are continuing to establish canon.
