Lost Entries: Roj Amalkin and the Stone Burner

Both were written by one of the Encyclopedia's most prolific contributors, and detail the life of Dune's Oppenheimer: a man named Roj Amalkin, who invented the deadliest weapon in the galaxy.. They read the manuscripts in full, and argue about why McNelly left them on the cutting room floor. This episode contains SPOILERS for Dune and Dune Messiah!
