Yeah - turning these series over to family is just...lazy.

Am I really supposed to believe that, coincidentally, Frank Herbert's son is the guy with the talent and best perspective to continue the Dune series and give it its best possible treatment?

Meanwhile folks tend to cite the 'handoff' from Robert Jordan to Brandon Sanderson as being particularly well done.

The fact that Lee Child's brother just HAPPENS to be the guy that takes over the series tells me that he never really intended to put it in the best possible hands. He just handed it to his family and said "aight, I'm bored of this - do with it what you will..."
