Sorry to disappoint you, but you still have:

Dune: The Butlerian Jihad
Dune: The Machine Crusade
and the forthcoming
Dune: The Battle of Corrin

:D

The Butlerian Jihad book was very good, and I'm halfway through The Machine Crusade now.

Just finished:

Flandry Agent of the Terran Empire - Poul Anderson
(Sci-fi fluff from an older era, good stuff though)

Master and Commander - Patrick O'brian
(Very good, gritty and realistic, but it has some weird transitions between time periods in the book. I liked it, but I may be one of those who winds up preferring Hornblower.

On one of my 15 hour drives to Seattle I listened to Bernard Cromwell's "An Archer's Tale" on audiobook. Pretty good, but I thought Cromwell overemphasized the use and effectiveness of the English longbow.

I just started Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. This is fairly dense reading so I may have to counteract it with some sci-fi fluff, hmm, cue up another Flandry novel.

From an online interview, it looks like Herbert and Anderson will be doing a 7th book to the original Dune series, based off of extensive notes for the book made by Frank Herbert. They even suggested that it may be published as two separate books.

So, after this current prequel trilogy ends, we have at least one more Dune book to look forward to :)

A very good series. Unfortunately, Martin takes about 10 years to write each friggin' installment.

I've been reading the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King this last week. Up to Wizard and Glass right now. (Prepping for Wolves of the Calla or whatever it's called.)
