Attila Torkos

Dr. Attila Torkos, M.D. from the Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery Department of the University of Szeged in Hungary.

Is best known in the Dune community, for his work on codifying the Dune timeline to include the Expanded Dune works by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. The latter thanked him for his "fine-tooth-comb scrutiny" of the final Machine Crusade manuscript and elsewhere has called him a "PhD. Dune Scholar".

Dr. Torkos however, denied both of these assertions - maintaining that his work on science fiction timelines is just a hobby.
