Dune Book Club Chapter 49 Appendix I/Epilogue/Prologue on Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station #dune
Channel: Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station

Chapter 49: A-ha! Fooled you! The final chapter of Dune is not the final chapter of Dune at all. Sneaky Frank Herbert hid more of his story in the appendices, and tonight we look at Appendix I, The Ecology of Arrakis, which is placed as an epilogue to the story but is in fact a prologue.
And what is past is prologue.
Join the peripatetic 1st Planetologist of Dune, the one and only Pardot Kynes, as he kills Harkonnens, manipulates Fremen, and works at his formulae for planetary transformation, educating us all continually as he goes. A mini-adventure set two generations before the arrival of Muad'Dib on Arrakis, and Frank Herbert's attempt at a little ecological primer.
What shall we learn? Hope you can join me  and my audience to find out.
