When America First Met China: An Exotic History of Tea, Drugs, and Money in the Age of Sail
Hunters of Dune (Sci Fi Essential Books)
The ONLY reason I read these books is because I wanted to know the history of Frank's Universe. Reading these books brings more pain than joy. Frank's soul and talent is void in these prequels. During the best moments, you get pedestrian pastiche. During the worst moments, you feel insulted from the lack of effort put into the writing.
