"Sandworms of Dune" the 8th book of the late Frank Herbert's Dune Chronicles. It is also the last of the series; a series i started reading when i was 13.

Sure, there are prequels and companion series i can read- but it's not the same.

I will be forever indebted to Brian Herbert for bringing his father's epic tale to a close, but i just can't seem to get around the fact that the story is OVER (i finished reading the book last night).

As much as i wanted to pronlong the experience, I found myself unable to read the book slowly. I devoured it, just as i had each of the other installments in the series.

I've purchased the first 4 of Stephen King's Gunslinger series, insuring that i will at least have another vast epic story in my life.

But things just won't ever be the same....
