	Dune (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dune spawned five sequels written by Herbert, and inspired a film adaptation by David Lynch, a mini-series made by the Sci Fi Channel (United States), computer games, and a series of prequels co-written by Brian Herbert, the author's son, and Kevin J. Anderson.
		The Messiah legend is intended as a safety net, allowing on-the-run Bene Gesserit agents to quickly gain the cooperation of a local populace in order to survive or escape pursuit, as the case may be.
		Dune is the sole source of melange, also known as "the spice" that gives limited prescience and prolongs the user's lifespan; with it, the Guild Navigators see a path through foldspace (thus enabling faster-than-light travel), and the Bene Gesserit can enhance their mental abilities.

	Dune Messiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	SCIFI.COM \| Frank Herbert's Children of Dune
		Dune Messiah by itself did not resolve completely enough to stand on its own; it set the stage for Children of Dune.
		There is a significant passage in Frank Herbert's Dune, spoken by Reverend Mother Ramallo, in which she tells Paul that "when religion and politics ride in the same cart, the whirlwind follows." Of course she means Muad'Dib — he is the whirlwind.
		As Dune fans know, in Dune Messiah he is tortured by what that whirlwind has meant, of what has become of his revolution.

		Dune I is a graphic adventure game based on both the book and the movie, in which players take the role of Paul.
		The game roughly follows the plot of the first "Dune" novel, though there are a number of plot twists which were introduced, presumably to let fans enjoy some unpredictability rather than plodding through a plot they already know by heart.

		Dune has some good ideas and in some parts the story really pick up, but over all this book is not as interesting, the characters are not as deep, and the writting style not as polished as Tolken's work.
		The Dune Chronicals is by far one of the most compelling pieces of writting in modern literature and is science-fiction's answer J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings'.
		Dune is a grand story and should never be without the rest of the Dune Trilogy that ties it's concept together.

		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.

		Although Dune Messiah is a continuation of Dune rather than a separate work, its tone is very different.
		Paul Atreides is emperor of the universe, but his visions of the future have become haunting rather than useful.
		Dune Messiah is more concise than its somewhat wordy predecessor; it is not as exciting to read (I would imagine that is why it seems to be unpopular among Dune fans), but the story is more powerful.

		Even though Frank Herbert's Dune isn't set to air on the SCI FI Channel for another six weeks, there's even more Frank Herbert in the pipeline, and the people involved couldn't be more pleased.
		The channel is so optimistic about its six-hour epic miniseries, set to air December 3-5, that it has already contracted writer-director John Harrison to create a sequel.
		According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harrison is pleased to get this chance to adapt Dune Messiah -- and possibly other volumes of the six-book Dune series as well -- for television.

		He seemed tacitly to admit this once when he said that "parts of Children of Dune were written before Dune was finished." It also suffers from the fact that it was first serialized in a SF magazine.
		If you liked Dune, read this one just to get to "Children" and, the piece de resistance, "God Emperor of Dune" where Herbert's mastery becomes complete and the Golden Path is revealed to us in all its terrible majesty.
		Dune has strong characterization and a strong plot; Dune Messiah has neither.

		Having listened to Children Of Dune on repeat to the point where the disc has begged for a break, I'm pleased that I was worried for nothing.
		Children Of Dune is simply the most accessible, and gratifying musical Dune journey this side of the Ghola Duncan (whever that is).
		With the Children Of Dune mini-series clocking in at over three hours, the score has been distilled into one album, making a surprisingly cohesive package, one where there's always something interesting transpiring -- which is important, because this album runs north of sixty-seven minutes (i.e., a long time).

		Whereas "Dune" looked at the Empire and how the Atreides fit in, "Dune Messiah" is more personal, and the scope is smaller.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Daniela Amavia in Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Considering the enormity of this task, the resulting screenplay for Children of Dune is indeed a highly credible achievement that does in fact work well; however, unlike John Harrison’s adaptation of the first Dune, this one is not quite the best that could have been hoped for.
		Children of Dune is split into three parts, the first of which handles a condensed version of the events of “Dune: Messiah”, leaving the latter two to handle “Children of Dune” itself.
		But again, for all of its flaws, Children of Dune is still a very well made miniseries, and over the course of four a half hours, it does a credible job of bringing Frank Herbert’s “Dune: Messiah” and “Children of Dune” to the screen.

		A short version of "Dune Messiah" was published in Galaxy Magazine four years later and was published in hard back ten years after the first.
		The first "Dune" is actually separated into three books and was made into a movie by the same name.
		The second, "Dune Messiah" and third, "Children of Dune" were supposed to end the sequels but they continued with a bit of a philosophical twist about God with "God Emperor of Dune." "Heretics of Dune," and "Chapterhouse: Dune" were the last two written by Herbert, and "Chapterhouse" being his last book before his death.

		Dune is to science fiction what The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy.
		And no doubt Dune IS a fine work of epic fiction ("a cast of thousands"), but it is definitely not perfect, as many reviews would have you believe.
		In fact, Herbert's view of the future (and the past) is basically an incredibly complex set of possibilities converging at a nexus point (in Dune, it's mainly Paul Muad'Dib) and subject to change via the slightest move.
