This is consistent with a broader theme of these novels, specifically, the nearly limitless power inherent in the human mind and body, and the power of training and discipline to enhance both physical and mental performance. Accordingly, heightened language skill and linguistic power are among the traits explored by Herbert in his works.--------------------Look at your library for Net Library!
