Destructive Review of Sandworms of Dune: “Chapter†4 (pp 28 – 32: 4.1 pp) Epigraph: This is Kevin addressing the Old Guard fans, rubbing it in. “I’ve seen the no-otes! I’ve seen the out-line!

It’s been nagging at me that I forgot to mention something the other day when doing “chapter” 2. So I had a quick look back over the last part and figured out what it was.

Thursday, August 16, 2007 – Bestseller List On August 15 the HLP & hired hack heard from TOR that ‘Worms would debut at number 4 on the New York Times bestsellers list.

Destructive Review of Sandworms of Dune: “Chapter†3 (pp 23 – 27: 4.5 pp) Epigraph: Oh, GAWD, I would have hoped for something better from the First Primer of the Missionaria Protectiva than this flatulent drivel.
