Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson continue to keep the legacy of the Dune series alive with this additional title to one of the most epic science fiction series. There was definitely questions to fans of the Dune series on the journey of Paul Atreides into the desert of Arrakis and what made him return to push the messiah's agenda. Alia's rise to power and her struggles with her sanity gives further tension to the story line. Most Dune fans at this point want details and now have the opportunity to dwell deeper with this story line. Although the ending already had been set by the original series, it still creates a desire to review what Frank Herbert originally wrote. I would recommend this book to Dune fans.

For those who like works from authors: Christopher Moore, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and others will like this fictional autobiographical story about: Death. Simply put, the mystery of death is put into a sarcastic, slight twisted glimpse in historical view of the eventual noncorporeal being. Death comments about rather important western events in history and comes to a nonconclusive end to his role with the universe.

Christopher Moore has the ability to mix humor with situations that are often viewed as serious, historical debates. In the case of Lamb, Moore provides us with a perspective of Biff, Jesus (Joshua) friend that pushes and often times reveals a humanistic view of the Gospels. Both Christians and non-Christians with a sense of humor would view this novel as entertaining and light hearted to an otherwise serious historical event.

Considered a classic in the fiction genre and still sparks a sense of importance in preserving books for the future of society. Remembered playing an old video game of this novel and enjoyed both for its futuristic and moral battle for society and human beings in oppression.

Neil Gaiman explores a few of his short fictions written over the years that covers various points in his life. The range of stories stem from mystery to poetry to macabre all with a touch of whimsical oddity that makes Neil Gaiman a great fiction writer.
