Frank Herbert: Operation Haystack

It's hard to ferret out a gang of fanatics; it would, obviously, be even harder to spot a genetic line of dedicated men. But the problem Orne had was one step tougher than that!

Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. was an American science fiction author best known for the 1965 novel Dune and its five sequels. Though he became famous for his novels, he also wrote short stories and worked as a newspaper journalist, photographer, book reviewer, ecological consultant, and lecturer.For fans of Dune, this will feel like familiar fare. It's interplanetary political commotion with a little cultural fetishism tossed in, though not quite to the level we see on Arrakis. The approach in Dune toward the selective (evil/deceptive?) breeding tactics by the sect of women is to focus on the Messiah and religious aspect. Straying in a different direction, this title looks at the selective breeders from a perspective not quite of eugenics, but related to blood quantum as a means to unravel part of their plots. Enjoy a very interesting story written by a master.
