description: Dune Revenant ("Fan Fiction" version of sequel to Chapterhouse Dune)Unfinished draft 9/9/2000 by William MitchellDune Revenant, described by author William Mitchell as an "unfinished draft," is a "fan fiction" speculative sequel to the Frank Herbert Dune Chronicles. The first book of the Dune Chronicles, Dune, was published in 1965. Frank Herbert's sixth and last book in that series, Chapterhouse Dune, was published in 1985. Frank Herbert died in 1986.Enthusiastic readers of the Dune Chronicles have spent considerable time contemplating what could happen in "Dune 7," a sequel to Chapterhouse involving that last book's cliffhangers involving some very compelling characters and events. The advent of "fan fiction" sequels created to further (as well as at least partially salve) this contemplation is a productive and pleasing development and a generous gift to fellow Dune fans.Notably, Mitchell's text, offered on the website http://www.geocities.com/dune_revenant/ in both PDF and document format, was written before the publishing of sequels to the Dune Chronicles written by Frank Herbert's son Brian Herbert and Brian Herbert's co-writer Kevin Andersen. William Mitchell's 101-page text has received numerous strong positive responses from Dune fans in Dune-topic chat forums, praising Mitchell's writing as satisfyingly similar to that of the late Frank Herbert. Some fans who have read Mitchell's text have speculated in chat forums that they might have a harder time appreciating Brian Herbert and Kevin Andersen's own sequels to the Dune Chronicles in comparison to Revenant.
