"Children of Dune" - Frank Herbert
Book III of the Dune Chronicles

A good read. Like Dune Messiah starts slow and about the middle works back up to a good flow. First book "Dune" was by far the best and stands well by itself, but the sequels are well written and follow a good flow.

Gonna take a fiction break and read a couple non-fictions on the pile.

I've taken an interest in steam power lately, especially when considering the past. There was a time when the world stood right on the verge of both steam power and fossil fuels as energy sources, and we could have gone down either path.

Plus, it's neat to learn how these work:
