You haven't seen "Battlefield Gor" or the 10-volume "Mission Gor" series
in bookstores yet, have you? I hear LRH, Robert Anton Wilson, Robert
Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert were planning to get together in
a posthumous collaboration to expand some of their most famous trilogies
as well:

Illuminatus of Dune
In the most thrilling Dune novel to date, the avatar-descendents of L.Ron
Atreides rebel against the Bene Gesseret hegemony by uncovering a massive
conspiracy between Aleister Crowley, Schroedinger's Cat and the
Commodore's Messenger Organization.

Foundation and Dune
Hari "Ron" Selden, the founder of the science of Psychohistory, is
uncovered by our hero Davidus Miscavigus, as an Evil Psych Drug Lord.
Davidus follows Selden through a time warp back to his home planet of
Hemet, where the two meet in a scientifically preordained battle.

Stranger in a Strange Dune
A strange being arrives on Dune after he is discovered to be the only
surviving member of RPF mission abandoned on a planet somewhere in the
backwaters of the galaxy. He possesses great powers, and people begin
worshiping his ability to solve all their problems by applying the
technology of Common Sense and Free Thought.

Marcabs of Dune
Marcabs arrive on Arrakis in their DC-8 spaceships, drive around in 1950s
black automobiles and try to sign up the Fremen for free personality
tests. Follow the Marcabs in their hilarious adventures as they meet, and
are turned away, by Face Dancers, Gholas, Sandworms, and Spice Miners.
Laugh uproariously as the Marcabs' only allies, the Harknonens, turn on
them and exploit them as a cheap source of food for the Emperor's
Sardaukar regiments.

Watch for news on the current negotiations with Enid Blyton and C.S.
Lewis ... is it too soon to hope for a "Noddy's Adventures in the RPF"
and the "Narnian Rundown"?
