More details, taken from the postface of House Atreides (just received by Pocket editions PR), by Brian Herbert himself.
Two weeks after his first work reunion with Kevin J Anderson (in 1997), a lawyer called Brian Herbert to tell him they found in a Seattle bank some of his father's notes for a Dune 7. As he speak on another part of the annotated copy of Chapterhouse Dune, I understand that's two differents things.
On the cautionous side, there's a mistake of translation in the term "Honoured Matres" - translated in the previous novels by Honorées Matriaches (feminine) but in the postface by Maîtres Honorés (masculine). Maybe there's more mistakes in the transcription of this postface.
