You cause and you can stop it, controled, though it makes no sence.

From the Dune series by Frank Herbert, yes?
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
yes. Dune itself in fact

Near the end when Paul threatens the Emperor with the total destruction of all the melange spice?
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
Sort of. Thats what he referring to. Not sure prescisiely were it comes from because in the film Paul says it when addressing the fremen warriors before they go out to fight the sardaukar

Hmm... the film? The film is a little... lackluster compared to the book.
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
true, but to the directors credit he admitted it himself, and went and filmed a TV series in an attempt to do the book justice.
Have you read Prelude to Dune?
The Assassins guild
EvilClaw: The Catmanthing Posted Jun 14, 2005
I admit, the tv series is better (the one that has Dune Messiah and Children of Dune?). I haven't read the prelude. Isn't it written by Frank Herbert's son?
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
Yeah, and Kevin J anderson as well. Its a flipping good read. They based it, along with the Legends of DUne, and the upcoming Dune 7 on Frank Herbert's notes
The Assassins guild
EvilClaw: The Catmanthing Posted Jun 14, 2005
Hmm... maybe I should give it a read.
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
you should. The Legends of Dune is alright but it did tend to drag on at times.
Interesting fact, Did you know that Tio Holtzman did NOT invent the foldspace generators?
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
The mathematician Tio Holtzman, in each and every dune book is credited with the invention of the Holtzman Foldspace generators which carry guild Heighliners into foldspace and back into realspace afterwards.
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
And yet, in the Legends of dune series, which is set at the same time as the butlerian Jihad, they specifically say that it was Holtzman's apprentice who invented the generators

EvilClaw: The Catmanthing Posted Jun 14, 2005
Well, since Frank Herbert is the original creator of Dune I think I'm going to stick with his version.
The Assassins guild
Commander Thanaris Thamian Meridian Posted Jun 14, 2005
it was. I believe that it was his notes about the subject that gave them the idea. I might be wrong though.
