Summary: Dosadi - Wow!
Comment: This is absolutely my favorite piece of science fiction writing! Everything I have read since (by Herbert, or other authors) has disappointed me on some level. Definately a page-turner! The plot is complex,creative and intriguiging, but more compelling than The Jesus Incident. The characters are well developed (I love the McKie character!), and he includes at least one very strong female character. The writing is tight and keeps you interested in the story line. Herbert does a good job of keeping "aliens" alien.
I am very disappointed to see that it is out of print. It is a much better novel than Dune.

Summary: The Experiment Behind the God Wall
Comment: The Dosadi Experiment is a brilliant, and complicated book. The concepts Herbert indulges in here will keep you pondering for weeks, months and years after you read it. Essentially an experiment is conducted on a planet enclosed behind a created protective barrier called the 'God Wall' to keep the inhabitants from leaving. A series of hostile conditions are created complete with toxic waste, hunger and war. The inhabitants are all unknowing 'test subjects' in a grand experiment, and develop into the most dangerous people in the universe, frightening their creators with their abilities. As events unfold, the inhabitants of Dosadi actually learn how to pass through the 'God Wall' unleashing themselves on the universe and the culmination of the tale winds up in the most unusual trial you will ever read. All in all quite a facinating exploration into a broad new territory for Herbert, marking him as one of the great pioneers of the genre of Science Fiction. This book is currently out of print and the copy I have is very old, but it is well worth searching used books stores to read this one. It is actually Herbert's sequel to 'Whipping Star'.

Summary: Fun read but much more
Comment: It's rare to find a book that combines such complex ideas with such an engaging story. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. Now that I've finished I continue to ponder the ideas expressed in the book.
Dosadi explores some of the same issues of power that Herbert explored in the Dune series. The futuristic world he created isn't as detailed as Dune, but I came to really care about the characters in Dosadi despite the fact that they aren't as well developed. On one level it is a fun page turner but the underlying, though provoking questions it raises makes the book truly interesting.
