	Frank Herbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Herbert began researching Dune in 1959 and was able to devote himself more wholeheartedly to his writing career because his wife returned to work full time as an advertising writer for department stores, becoming the main breadwinner during the sixties.
		Herbert later related in an interview with Willis E. McNeilly that the novel originated when he was supposed to do a magazine article on sand dunes in Florence, Oregon, but he got too involved in it and ended up with far more raw material than needed for a single article.
		In recent years, Brian Herbert (Frank's son) and Kevin J. Anderson, have used those notes to write a successful series of novels based on the pre-Dune materials and are preparing to write two post-Chapterhouse novels (Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune) based on the "Dune 7" outline written by Frank Herbert.

	Brian Herbert, Dreamer of Dune
		Brian Herbert reveals his father as a blustery, impatient man, uncomfortable with children and unable to relate to his own offspring until they were adults.
		Herbert wrote most of Dune in a small house in San Francisco between 1961 and 1965 (Brian refers to it as a one-story house in the text, although a photo in the picture section clearly shows it to have two), while working evenings as photo editor for the San Francisco Examiner.
		In fact, the second half of the book seems more a memoir of Brian Herbert's attempts to patch up his relationship with his father, than a biography of the enigmatic and influential author who is ostensibly the subject of the book.

		Brian Herbert: Well, I'm not sure he's a wanna-be philosopher — he wants power, and he wants to be behind the scenes, and he manipulates people.
		Brian Herbert: That's why Frank Herbert wrote Dune, Messiah, showing the dark side of Paul Atriedes — not particularly of his character, but of [the effect of his legend and] the people that follow him, and billions of people die in his name.
		Brian Herbert: He's also a cross [in that] Kevin came up with part of him and I came up with part of him, so he's very much representative of the project we've [undertaken together].

		Brian Herbert's quest certainly resulted in a detailed and fascinating view of a contradictory man, who seems to have been creative, impulsive and romantic, but also a strict disciplinarian who was impatient, intolerant and intimidating with children (his use of a WW II lie detector on his sons is at least bizarre).

		Brian Herbert gives an in-depth analysis of influences on the Dune series, from the origins of names to Frank Herbert's fear of charismatic leaders, and his research on the Mahdi and T. Lawrence.

	Star Wars Origins - Frank Herbert's Dune (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Herbert observed that it was silly to use giant metal ships to transport liquids which weigh less than water, and so invented the idea of a giant rubber balloon, shaped like a sandworm, which could be dragged acorss the ocean's surface by a much-smaller, much less-expensive boat.
		Herbert innovated in one other major way: in his day, Science Fiction was seen mostly as a way to express mind-expanding ideas through story, but the idea was the star, and the story itself was mostly seen as a "coat hanger" for the idea to hang on.
		Brian Herbert wrote that although his father was a "complex and difficult man," the two of them eventually found a reconciliation.

	Interview \| Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
		According to his son, Brian, when he died Frank Herbert was laying plans for a seventh book in the series but Brian -- himself a well respected author of science fiction -- didn't think it was a project he'd ever want to tackle.
		It was, in some ways, Brian Herbert's birthright: the echo of his childhood and the world whose creation forced a household that demanded tiptoe quiet.
		We know where Frank Herbert was going but we've been talking to a lot of the fans and we've been talking to each other and we think that the next big story that needs to be told is the Butlerian Jihad -- the war against the thinking machines 10,000 years ago.
