If I had to guess I’d say he’s gonna show the war with the other families concurrently with some of the politics of Dune Messiah. Instead of having them happen one after another.
Yeah, that's a solid bet.
TBH the condensed timeline didn't work for me, it made Paul's decision less believable for me.

Also my friend and I were talking about Messiah and how she thinks they'll leave out the Spacing Guild and Tleilaxu out. The lack of importance of the Guild is one of my book reader gripes. They're right up there with the Bene Gesserit in terms of their political power.
