Orbert:
Totally understandable. I was fine through God Emperor, but I was getting kinda bored by time I got to Heretics, thinking "What the hell happened to the story?" By the fifth book, it's thousands of years after Paul, though we're still following the Atreides family line, and Duncan Idaho is on his 25th ghola or something, but it seemed pretty useless. Those two connections were the only thing tying back to the original story. Then I realized what it was he was doing, and kinda got into it that way, but it's sure not for everyone.

mberan42:
Is Arakkis ever terraformed?

Orbert:
I honestly don't remember. Incredibly, it doesn't actually play a major part in the big picture.

Scytale:
Yeah it eventually changes its name to Rakkis after it is terraformed and it does play a sort of huge roll in the story, big part of Leto's Golden Path...

Orbert:
Ah, that's right. It's important during that one book, God Emperor, but when I said "the big picture" I guess I meant the whole saga, which spans several thousand years. In the first book, water is hugely important, and the idea of terraforming (I guess that's applicable here, though I never thought of it that way) was a goal. Then they figured out that water everywhere = no sandworms = no spice = bad. By the end of the story, whether or not they ended up transforming the planet didn't seem to be such a big deal.
