In that case: happy reading!
Even though I have already read these, I am a bit jealous of you: you're going to experience that wonderful feeling of being blown away by an excellent book for the first time. And that four times in a row!🤩🤩🤩🤩
(It's always a bit tricky to say something like that - different folks have different tastes. But somehow I think you will agree. Still, do let us know what you think, ok?)

We would like to keep making these until the heat death of the solar system so if you like what you see, please spread the word.

My originals are long gone but I have the entire collection in digital format. Starblazer was pulpy but oh so good and often the highlight of Saturday afternoon trip to the news agency (news stand in the US)
"But I was very skeptical. The trailers seemed to indicate a train wreck. They were full of explosions, angry screaming guys and the taglines about war. Dune was never about war. War was in there, but it was never the point. But cinema, SciFi especially, loves special effects, and big-booms are amongst the most used. I dislike a lot of SciFi movies from the USA, as the (so called) spectacle is all there is."
@mms I watched the first one on a long flight, and it seemed to be a hymn of praise to power and aristocracy. Whereas I recall Herbert's books were supposed to be about the environment.
Looking for a fun SciFi book series with psychic cats? Yes, I’m hooked.

Yes. Heinlein's novel Sixth Column aka The Day After Tomorrow is a drastically re-written version of John Campbell's All. Done with Campbell's permission.
For instance: in Sixth Column the freedom fighters invent a crazy religion as a cover story. They pretend to believe the religion in order to fool the invaders.
In All, the freedom fighters actually believe the ridiculous religion they invented.
