For more discussion of Dune on this blog than I had realized, and particularly for comparisons between Herbert's Dune and Anderson's Aeneas, see a blog search result for Dune here. Maybe that suffices and we can leave it at that?
Aeneas is better realized than Dune and deserves to be seen in serialized screen adaptations of The Rebel Worlds and The Day Of Their Return with some extra scenes to show the earlier lives of characters like Hugh McCormac and Ivar Frederiksen but no extended series about this planet. We do not need any Children Of Aeneas...

Yeah, Poul's planets are more realistic than "Dune".
Giant sandworms burrowing through deep sand... not very realistic.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
Amusingly put, I was content with just reading DUNE and its first two sequels.
Ad astra! Sean
The end of "Children of Dune" seemed such a "Deus Ex Vermus" that I never bothered reading any of the later Dune books.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
Exactly, and entertainingly put: Deus Ex Vermus!
Ad astra! Sean
Jim, You read the best.
Kaor, Jim!
Oops! I addressed my "Deus Ex Vermus" comment to the wrong person.
Ad astra! Sean
