18. I agree with what you said about the Dune sequels

That was one of the reasons why I've been reluctant to try one of the Brian Herbert books. "The Butlerian Jihad" seemed to be the first one chronologically, so I started with that one. Ten thousand years before the events of Dune, the Zensunni Wanderers have escaped bondage and settled on Arakis, later to become the Fremen. The war between humanity and the thinking machines has escalated. An early chapter details how an exiled Fremen accidentally discovers how to "ride" a sandworm. I will update you, when I finish.
