As to their reading the first books, I would say probably not. The "sequels" they've written are the literary equivalent of "music inspired by" soundtracks, those disappointing cds you get when you think you've bought the real thing and it turns out to be a glorified drain filter for all the loose crap in the record company shower.
I agree wholeheartedly about the first books in regards to complexity. Sometimes that complexity was irritating because I wanted to know exactly what was going on, but it gave the books a sense of reality, which was odd considering their circumstances and situations. Frank = dyn-O-mite. Brian = small, very small, black cat dud.

My 2 cents:
Dune is one of my favourite books of all time... liked the sequels but not as much.
