Also, what’s with the title? The “king” of what, exactly? In what way does Kevin J. Anderson approach the level of royalty in **any** capacity?

Well, King of Hiking Out God-Awful Books Twenty Times Per Year, of course … but **other** than that.

why are “KJA Physics of the Universe” and “the rest of human understanding of Physics of the Universe” so different?

Why are the 11 McDune books so poorly edited?

Why are the 11 MCDune books so repetative and Verbose?

Why does the Dune Novels website allow KJA to hawk his non-dune books, T-
Shirts and other stuff off that site?

Didnt ya pretty much hit bottom as a writer with the creation of the fennrings daughter in POD?

My favourite will always be the birth planet of Paul and the fact that he never left it until the events of ‘Dune’ – if even these basic facts from the opening pages of ‘Dune’ can be ignored by Keith and Bobo, then nothing is sacrosanct, and these continuing additions really are an abomination.

Do you really think Frank Herbert would have written a sequel to Chapterhouse : Dune and have every major character on the no-ship completely forget that Teg can move faster than the eye can see for no apparent reason? I understand that you may consider it acceptable to introduce a massive plot hole just because it allows you to have some more tension, but do you really think Frank Herbert would have done this? It’s a wonder you didn’t make Teg forget his super-speed himself.

Why does Shaddam know about Paul’s Death before Jessica?
Why does Jessica not know Chani is pregnant?
Why are all of the Female characters, even Royals and Regents forced to use public landing zones when male characters can take off from the Palace landing pad?
Why is security in nuDune a complete joke?
How are Paul and Bronso hiding on the Cargo lander for “several hours” and then on the Heighliner and gone before anyone notices?
Why do the Bene Gesseritt not care at all that Young Paul has gone missing?
Why does the Guild punish Paul and Bronso for attempting (and in Bronso’s case succeeding) to see a Navigator with exile to the Jongleur troop?
Why do House Atredies and House Vernius (sic) take so long to find their heirs.
Why does Leto punish Paul only by sending him to his room to think about his actions.
Why does a planetary governor pardon and release Jongleur dancers when Paul knows they are assassins who tried to assassinate said governor?

you need to think about why these questions matter in the sense of Dune Canon and simple common sense.

Why is it that every interview TheKJA ever does just sounds like a commercial for his books?

And when was the last time that an interviewer ever asked TheKJA a difficult question? For example: “Where was Paul Atreides born?”

This entire farce is a waste of electrons.
