Earlier this week, Villordsutch was lucky enough to grab a few words with Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson to discuss Mentants of Dune, the latest novel in the Dune series. During the interview the writing duo offered up a few words on the third book in the Schools of Dune trilogy, confirming that it will be entitled Navigators of Dune and touching briefly on the plot. Check out what they had to say here….
Villordsutch: Is there any possibility you could tell me and the readers of FlickeringMyth.com what the next “School” book will be entitled and which school will our sights be turned upon (I myself believe we’re going to be looking at the Spacing Guild)?
Brian Herbert: It is one of the writing projects that Kevin and I have discussed, although we have not made arrangements to publish it yet. In the Dune universe, it will be our next novel, entitled NAVIGATORS OF DUNE. This will, as you surmised, be about the founding of the Spacing Guild, thousands of years before the events in DUNE.
Kevin J. Anderson: Brian and I plotted out NAVIGATORS OF DUNE in some detail right after we finished writing MENTATS.
Be sure to check back early in the week for our full interview with Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
