Well... it's been a long time since I read a BH book... at least 10-15 years. I really don't remember them very well so it would be hard to specify one. I remember liking the one where they moved some sandworms to another place... was that 'Sandworms of Dune'? I think that was the last one I read. I don't recognize any of the titles after that one.

But then at my age now, the RAM chips don't refesh like they used to...
