Operation Haystack by Frank Herbert My rating: 3 of 5 stars Now this is the story that's interesting from Frank Herbert. I noticed something that he did in one of his short stories that Isaac Asimov has done. He evolves his ideas In this short story. For example he incorporates what we now know as the Bene Gesserit. Of course this is not in the Dune universe but the idea is there. In fact it indicates how woman been manipulating certain planets of the league for the husband to have political power and just been going for some time eventually I guess he Incorporated this Society of women into the Dune Saga.

Missing Link by Frank Herbert My rating: 3 of 5 stars Most people know Frank Herbert writing because of Dune. It is a very popular series here in the 21st century even though it was written in the 20th century. But he does have other books and short stories. This particular story describes a first Contact situation. The inhabitants of the planet are pretty hostile but very intelligent so much that they kidnapped a whole ship. And hide it in a place where indigenous people would not hide anything because they lack the technology to do so I guess they are quick studies. So when you get a chance give it a read it's not long and the plot is surprising. View all my reviews
