I agree w/ Nekokami, _Finity's End_ was one of Cherryh's best books --- unfortunately, a lot of the appreciation of it is tied up in the history, so it work much better if one has read _Downbelow Station_, _Merchanter's Luck_, &c.

To get back to the main topic, Frank Herbert's _Dune_ books are quite good, but the prequels and sequels are pretty awful and worse still, are inconsistent w/ what Herbert wrote (in Dune it's noted that Duke Leto Atreides had only entered the arena once, to kill the bull which had killed his father, but in the prequel they have it gunned down w/ lasguns)
