Well...um...er....yeah. :)

I've heard other authors that the Golden Age of SciFi died with
Stranger. They might be right.

Ever read the '91 version that his wife Virginia published?

As for Dune, et al it sounds like Louis L'Amour, who wrote ten novels
each repeated twenty times.

ROTFL!!!

I read Dune as a serial in Analog, during
the brief period that it was full sized. Five parts. Maybe it
remembers better than it reads. I passed on son of dune and the rest
of them.

I made it through Dune - slowly and with many false starts.

Never even attempted the rest of them.

I view Dune as George RR Martin meets Robert Jordan meets Terry
Brooks. :)
