Video: Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson (9/16/08)
Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson visited the University Bookstore on September 16th to promote their new release, Paul of Dune—and here is some of that visit!
Brian and Kevin do not read from their books, usually, but instead like to talk to the fans about the Dune universe. They answered numerous questions and spent a great deal of time talking about working on Paul of Dune, where the series is going in the next few years, their work on a new collaboration titled Hellhole, and how the new film adaptation is progressing. The fans asked some very good questions as only fans can do.
There are six parts to the video:
- Part 1: Brian talks about how Dune Messiah was received and why he wrote a sequel to Dune.
- Part 2: Brian and Kevin talk about Princess Irulan and her role in Paul Atreides’s life.
- Part 3: Brian and Kevin talk about Jessica of Dune, Leto of Dune, and their writing schedule for the next few years.
- Part 4: Brian and Kevin talk about ending the Dune books with the Schools of Dune trilogy.
- Part 5: Brian talks about how Frank Herbert wanted to write a Butlerian Jihad book and elaborates on how the Dune 7 notes were found.
- Part 6: Brian and Kevin talk about the forthcoming Dune film adaptation from Paramount Pictures.
Brian and Kevin tour along the west coast with every release, leaving much of the world unable to hear these two writers speak about their work. We hope you enjoy these brief glimpses from a Dune signing!

Gawd, Shawn, it must be so WONDERFUL to rub up against such greatness!

I have to agree with the UK reviewer. I've read Dune, Dune Messiah and Paul of Dune and it didn't need to be written. It doesn't even really answer any of those 'questions' people seem to have.
