Really? Could you tell us more about this? This must be very
interesting.

Did you manage to write "Axtotl" without looking for in the book? :)

Face Dancer... Yes, I like the name in English altought the French
translation is good too : Danseur-Visage.
Of course Bene Gesserit seems to be invincible but it's not true. At
the end of the cycle the Chapter is destroyed few time after Bene
Tleilax.

And with the Tleilaxu Master Scytale...

I've read it, don't worry. I'm happy to discuss with people who
appreciate Herbert.
What is the part of the cycle you like the most? (is this English?)
I love the two first books when Atreid and Harkonnen Houses are in
war. The universe is much more interesting than in the following
books : there are the Sardaukars, the Fremens, the Landsraad, the
Bene Gesserit and the Space Guild is still powerfull... The only
problem is that the Bene Tleilax is not really involved in these
events, it plans its actions to dominate the universe and doesn't
have time to spend in "little spice wars on Arrakis"...
