I read the six Dune books at 18 years to 22ish. Must have missed the plot hole.What was it?
It's been a long time but let me think. There was a guy who was the body guard of the royal guy who had to marry off his daughter to the Dune guy. The Dune guy was supposed to be some kind of super dude with a superior intellect. The bodyguard guy could have been one of those super dudes but he was a eunech. He still had the intellect and fighting skills though. After the Dune guy killed they guy played by Sting in the movie the Royal guy ordered the body guard to kill the Dune guy but he refused and the 2 of them went into exile. Even my not-so-super intellect figured out that even if the bodyguard didn't want to kill him all he had to do was beat him and show everyone he wasn't the super dude everyone thought he was. But that wouldn't have made for a good sequel.
There's way more than six. There are several prequels. Frank Herbert croaked and his son took over writing them from his daddy's notes.
I highly recommend them. They are WAY better than the Dune sequels.
