So: why do we bother so much about spelling?

I found those two free novels on the site of the Frank Herbert son…Brian Herbert who wrote the « Prelude to Dune » Trilogy :

Whipping Mek

Hunting Harkonnens

Here is the rich and complex world that Frank Herbert created in his classic series, in the time leading up to the momentous events of DUNE. As Emperor Elrood’s son Shaddam plots a subtle regicide, young Leto Atreides leaves his lush, water-rich planet for a year’s education on the mechanized world of Ix; a planetologist named Pardot Kynes is dispatched by the Emperor to the desert planet Arrakis, or Dune, to discover the secrets of the addictive spice known as melange; and the eight-year-old slave Duncan Idaho is hunted by his cruel masters in a terrifying game from which he vows escape and vengeance. But none can envision the fate in store for them: one that will make them renegades-and shapers of history.

I am attending a 4 days training on Portal Infranet Wireless Pricing and Rating (Version 6.5). So this means : no time for me… no time for this blog ! 🙁

At the beginning I should have attending this training in England. I managed to have it in Belgium… 🙂

Frank Herbert’s Dune series is one of the grandest epics in the annals of imaginative literature. Selling millions of copies worldwide, it is science fiction’s answer to The Lord of the Rings, a brilliantly imaginative epic of high adventure, unforgettable characters, and immense scope.

Ace/Berkley has reissued the original DUNE novel in hardcover. DUNE and the additional five novels will also be reissued in paperback, with a distinctive and « upscale » new look.

For any information on DUNE, just have a look at :

• Arrakis – Dune
• Dune – Behind The Scenes
• Dune – Official Site
• The World of DUNE

This list will be updated soon… You will get the full list in the « Link Management » area (to be defined and implemented)

The answer is easy ! Cline for Jacqueline, my wife and IDaho for Duncan Idaho from Dune (Frank Herbert). I am a fan of Frank Herbert and his saga « Dune » !

Introduction to the Dune saga :

A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it was the year 10,191. The known Universe was ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, my father.
At that time, the most precious substance in the Universe was the spice, Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The spacing guild and its navigators whom the spice has mutated over 4,000 years, use the orange spice gas which gives them the ability to fold space. That is . . . travel to any part of the Universe without moving.

The planet is Arrakis . . . also known as, Dune
