There are many people, myself included, out there who would gladly give their multiple lives away just to get a glimpse of the possibilities of the final chapter of Dune. Unfortunately for those people Frank Herbert didn’t quite get to finish his work. Even for unfortunate for all those people is that the glimpse they would die for had come in 2007.
So why was it unfortunate? Having finally finished reading the final chapters (supposedly guided by notes from Frank Herbert himself), I would have to point out that the notes left behind by the original author must have been seriously incomplete. Never in a million years I would think that Dune will tie up all the lose ends and give happy endings to all its multiple story lines. It’s just not the Dune way. But then, there’s the saying – never say never.
