But, that doesn't mean there's not some great stuff in these books. Over the years, some readers have accused the Dune prequels as coming across more like fan fiction than a real extension of the series. I can't in good conscience recommend that a new reader tackle all the Dune prequels, but, I also refuse to be a hater and tell you to ignore all of them, either. Are all the prequels good? Do fans like all the prequels? Short answers: No and no again. Do you want more background information about how things came to be in the Dune-verse?

George Takei, well-known for his portrayal of Sulu on Star Trek (and these days for his social media presence), was just a boy when he and his family were sent to a camp. Anti-Japanese sentiment ran high over the course of the war and the prejudice persisted even after.
