	Dune (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dune is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert and published in 1965.

		Dune is set far in the future amidst a sprawling feudal intergalactic empire where planetary fiefdoms are controlled by noble Houses that owe allegiance to the Imperial House Corrino.

	Cylon Alliance - The Dune Epic
		This fierce warrior was killed in the original Dune novel and cloned through a mystic process by those who sought to control Paul by promising to return his loved ones who had died in exchange for royal favors.
		Dune's 5th book, Heretics of Dune, written in 1984, advanced another 1500 years after the last novel to describe Sheanna, a remarkable young woman who could control the monster Gods of Arrakis, the giant sandworms.
		Like the novels on which they were based, the Children of Dune miniseries was a dark commentary on the dangers of revolutions and religious fundamentalists.

	Dune
		Of these four novels, DUNE is the longest, most complex, the deepest by far, arguably the most successful on a literary level, certainly the most culturally important, and yet the least under- stood by critical establishments, both genre and general.
		But on a deeper level, the level Joseph Campbell addresses, and a level that is fully present in DUNE, the ultimate adversary that the true hero (as opposed to the barbarian with a broadsword or the space cadet with a blaster) confronts in the nethermost pit of the moral and spiritual underworld is himself.
		DUNE, therefore, is not primarily a novel thematically cen- tered on ecology.

	The Sands of Time
		Dune is therefore the story of an ancient priesthood, the creation of a Messiah, and his “awakening” through the use of hallucinogenic substances.
		Dune came about from the possibility – the fear – that ecology might be the next banner for demagogues and would-be-heroes, for the power seekers and others ready to find an adrenaline high in the launching of a new crusade.
		Dune, if anything, is a message for our time, whereby the mind is not appreciated for its true potentials and drugs are seen as having no educational value – instead, we offer a computer-generated world as a virtual reality, neglecting the superhuman abilities that we could perform within our own realm.

	Dune Movie
		Dune's problems unfolded over many decades and involved hundreds of people: producers, writers, artists, designers, musicians and directors, who tried in vain to bring Herbert's classic science fiction novel to the screen.
		In most cases, Dune projects failed because no one seemed capable enough of writing a script that was both comprehensive and good enough to be made into a movie.
		Dune was alien terrain for Lynch, and despite the brilliant director's talents for showcasing the whimsical, no one could digest the intricacies of Frank Herbert's Dune in one sitting and then churn out a script.

		Both novels pretty much established their author's reputation, and built a cult of fans who eagerly bought the many sequels (though in both cases the later volumes are generally agreed to be inferior).
		The human environment of Dune is rather closely related to that of a medieval fantasy, with a feudal system involving Barons, Dukes, and the Emperor who bestows entire planets as fiefs on his followers.
		On the other hand Dune is the more daring work in its vision of a whole new planetary ecology: the desert, the spice (essential to space travel), the sandworms, and the adaptations made by the people living there to their environment, while Middle Earth is rarely far from pastoral England or chivalric Europe.

		Dune Messiah is the sequel to Dune and more importantly a bridge to the next book.
		The new life emerging on Arakis is seen as a threat by the old Fremen, and the fate of the entire planet is in danger as Alia deals with her personal demons and the ultimate fate of her brother.
		Throughout the Dune novels, Frank Herbert frequently referred to the long-ago war in which the humans wrested their freedom from "thinking machines." Now, in Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring to life the story of that war, a tale previously seen only in tantalizing hints and clues.

		The Dune novels are popular with many fans and partly this is due because of its political and religious structures.
		The political structure in Dune Messiah is one of the simplest in the novels, but is still important to society because it shows how it is used and its consequences.
		This is true throughout the novel, as he proves to others that he does see the future in many ways although the oracular ability is very complicated to explain.

		A man who could bring to life the intrigues of the court of Henry The VIII would certainly have no problem creating the feudal society of Dune, but though Jacob was very keen on Jarrott, the two were never to formally cement any relationship.
		The Dune he intended to make bore little relationship to the novel, and it is said that Jodorowsky spent considerable energy keeping a skeptical Frank Herbert at arms length.

	Star Wars Origins - Frank Herbert's Dune (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Dune mentions the religion of the Zensunni, presumably a combination of "Zen" and "Sunni." The word "Sunni" is the nickname for ahl al-sunnah wa-l-jamaa ("The people who follow the traditions of Muhammad and his tribe", Arabic).
		Dune was strongly influenced by Lawrence: Paul is the messianic man of two tribes leading the Jihad, the Beduins are the Fremen, the Harkonnens are the Turks, the Sardaukar are German Troops, and the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV represents both the German government and the British crown.
		Dune fans may be unpleasantly surprised to discover that (unless we assume that Brian Herbert is flat-out lying in his father's biography, which seems unlikely), Frank Herbert was emotionally and even physically abusive to his children.

	Dune Herbert, Frank Criticism and Essays
		The action of Dune takes place primarily on the planet of Arrakis, also called Dune, and is structured around the efforts of Paul Atreides, a gifted individual of superior intelligence, who struggles to free the citizens of Arrakis from the control of the Harkonnens.
		Dune explores the state of humanity from three perspectives: the social, the religious, and the ecological.
		This messianic quest is one of the novel's several related religious elements; others include the eugenic work of the Bene Gesserit cult, the religious rituals of the Fremen, and the holy war needed to create a new mingling of the human gene pool.

		Dune was a revolution in sci fi and still today is one of the milestones in the genre.
		In my mind it remains the greatest single science-fiction novel ever written, not simply due to the quality, depth and cadence of the writing, but also because of the universe Frank Herbert wrought, so real that it is more real than the world we live in.
		Dune was turned down by twenty or so publishers before it was finally accepted and even then, grudgingly...there perhaps lies hope for writers who achieve only rejection instead of recognition.

		On the other hand, fans of the Dune novels and films might find the game slightly more palatable, if they can perhaps get past the numerous gameplay flaws that seem to be inherit throughout Frank Herbert’s Dune.
		This planet has a significant importance to the galaxy due to the fact that it is the only known location where the spice Melange can be found: a substance that is not only crucial to space navigation but that also extends the life of those that ingest it regularly.
		Frank Herbert’s Dune follows along nicely the original storyline and premise of Frank Herbert’s now 30 year old Dune novel, which in itself is a nice touch.
