Talk:High-Opp

But is the book any good?

In a word, no. There's a reason it wasn't published when it was written, sometime between 1955 and 1965. The characters are one-dimensional, the unrealistic human interactions make a soap opera look like Shakespeare, and even the protagonist is unlike-able. He never truly suffers. The things that were taken away from him were things he never wanted anyway. By the time he decides to forego his revenge, events have moved beyond his control. The deep philosophical issues that make Herbert so interesting are completely absent in this book. The only redeeming feature is that it's a peek at a proto-Dosadi before the concept of a people conditioned by a harsh environment (such as the Fremen) were read back into the story, allowing the fan of Herbert to see how the author's ideas were shaped.
