I finished Hunters of Dune. With where this book is heading, I think it would be a good idea, for anyone interested in reading the last two books in the Dune series to read the Butlerian Jihad books first. I've read somewhere that Frank Herbert wanted to write about the Butlerian Jihad with his son, but passed away too soon.
Having read Hunters of Dune, it is clear to me why he wanted to do that before continuing his Dune saga. The ending of Hunters of Dune has some references to that period and I expect that Sandworms of Dune will have even more.
Probably it is not essential to read the Butlerian Jihad books first, but I think it has value to do so.
Only one book to go
