You haven't seen "Battlefield Gor" or the 10-volume "Mission Gor" series in bookstores yet, have you? I hear LRH, Robert Anton Wilson, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert were planning to get together in a posthumous collaboration to expand some of their most famous trilogies as well: Illuminatus of Dune In the most thrilling Dune novel to date, the avatar-descendents of L.Ron Atreides rebel against the Bene Gesseret hegemony by uncovering a massive conspiracy between Aleister Crowley, Schroedinger's Cat and the Commodore's Messenger Organization. Foundation and Dune Hari "Ron" Selden, the founder of the science of Psychohistory, is uncovered by our hero Davidus Miscavigus, as an Evil Psych Drug Lord. Davidus follows Selden through a time warp back to his home planet of Hemet, where the two meet in a scientifically preordained battle. Stranger in a Strange Dune A strange being arrives on Dune after he is discovered to be the only surviving member of RPF mission abandoned on a planet somewhere in the backwaters of the galaxy. He possesses great powers, and people begin worshiping his ability to solve all their problems by applying the technology of Common Sense and Free Thought. Marcabs of Dune Marcabs arrive on Arrakis in their DC-8 spaceships, drive around in 1950s black automobiles and try to sign up the Fremen for free personality tests. Follow the Marcabs in their hilarious adventures as they meet, and are turned away, by Face Dancers, Gholas, Sandworms, and Spice Miners. Laugh uproariously as the Marcabs' only allies, the Harknonens, turn on them and exploit them as a cheap source of food for the Emperor's Sardaukar regiments. Watch for news on the current negotiations with Enid Blyton and C.S. Lewis ... is it too soon to hope for a "Noddy's Adventures in the RPF" and the "Narnian Rundown"? -- Old saviours never die. They merely exceed the Breidbart index.
