Martin joined us to discuss the Dresden files and the first book in the series Strom Front by Jim Butcher who looks like a fashionable buff wizard. Kristyna told us about the Vlad Taltos series and the first book in the series Jhereg by Steven Brust.

67 - Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert

Book 5 of the Dune series really horny, bonkers in parts but still very enjoyable and thought provoking. If you are still here with us and have survived the worm god, let's dive into Heretics of Dune!

The best book of the dune series, there I said it. I have been waiting for a long time to talk about this one on the podcast. This has to be one of the weirdest pieces of media out there that somehow still manages to completely make sense. Join me and Paolo to discuss one of the most infamously strange, thought-provoking, comedically hilarious, gory and overly sexual books I have ever read.

One of the best follow-ups to a great story. We love Dune not because of the first book but because of the series as a whole. Dune messiah has Paolo's favorite ending from any book he read and the best villain I had ever read about in a book. So to counter balance our fanboying over Dune I invited Kristyna to join the discussion.
