Stranger in a Strange Land is a good novel, but it's nothing like Dune. SIASL was written in 1961 and Dune in 1965 and won the Hugo Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1966. I don't think they would have awarded it to him if it was a 'rip-off'..............

Read it in 1967, care package in Nam, did not like it then and I did not like it when I was gifted it last year and reread it. The man was a one hit wonder, neither a good fantasy or good blend of SF and fantasy, GROK!
