Hello, mixed reviews not withstanding, I wanted some more Dune so I'm giving the prequels a shot. I'm starting with the "House" trilogy, but I'm wondering about the Butlerian Jihad trilogy. I know from the official Dune novels site, BH and KJA wrote short stories set inbetween those novels. Now, I think I saw a PB copy of one of the Butlerian trilogy that had that story added to the book (that wasn't in the HC edition). Does anyone know if all the PB versions have these, or just some of them? I'm buying most of these off half.com, so I need to be sure of what I'm ordering.

thanks

There's been a few threads on the DUNE books and the prequels. I've read the "House" books and I'm waiting for The Battle of Corrin" to come out in Paperback to finish the "Jihad" books.

I can only think of one book with the extra story in the back. The Machine Crusade has "Faces of the Martyr" in it. The 1st book, The Butlerian Jihad, didn't have any extra stories. I'm not sure about The Battle of Corrin.

Yeah, there were three short stories published to coinincide with each of the Butlerian novels. If they're not in the paperbacks, you can download them as .pdf files from the official Dune site:

Thanks but that's where I originally found them. I was hoping to have them in a more convenient format than an oddly sized printout. The OS does mention a collection of short stories and unpublished Frank Herbert Dune writings, so I'm hoping they'll toss them in all together.
