   In my very humble opinion, you didn't miss much. A million years ago   
   here in rasfw, I mentioned Heretics of Dune (aka My Own Private Duncan   
   Idaho) as the worst SFF "turkey" I had finished reading. For the life of   
   me, I don't know why I then went on to read Chapterhouse: Dune, but I   
   did, and it was not much better. At this remove, I don't remember a   
   whole lot of either one - my sense is that they weren't "throw at the   
   wall" bad, but they were really disappointing.
