Who would win?
I have always daydreamed that the Frank Herbert estate should authorize a crossover with the LENSMEN books, so that the Galactic patrolmen swinging their space-axes can face Feydakeen fanatics with their crysknives, and we would see who would win. Can the future visions of the Kwisatz Haderach outmatch the Visualization of the Cosmic All of the Second Stage Lensmen? Both are, after all, the end product of centuries of directed evolution…
Of course they would be enemies. Aren’t the people in DUNE just Zwilniks after all? Isn’t Arrakis nothing more than a dry version of Trenco, the source of the galaxy’s most potent drug?
