	Dune universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fictional Dune universe, or Duniverse is the political, scientific, and social setting of author Frank Herbert's six-book Dune series of science-fiction novels.
		They await the coming of a prophesied messiah, not suspecting that this was hidden in their legends by the Missionaria Protectiva, an arm of the Bene Gesserit dedicated to religious manipulation, in order to ease the path of the Bene Gesserit on Arrakis, and the ascendance of the Kwisatz Haderach.
		At the time of Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse Dune, the turmoil caused by the fall of the God Emperor and the Scattering of billions of humans into the freedom of unknown space is settling into a new pattern.

		I feel that they are good Dune novels, but not quite as good as the Prelude to Dune series (House prequels).
		September 5th, 2004 12:46 AM Dune is my favourite book of all time (Lord of the Rings being a close second), so in my not-so-humble opinion, anything the son wrote is nothing better than for use as bog roll.

		Dozens of scholars have rushed into print with their translations of one or more of the ridulian crystals, and the popular press on many planets has been filled with hypothesis, conjecture, and outright fabrication.
		Readers of The Dune Encyclopedia should understand its limitations: it is not designed as a definitive study of the entire eras encompassed by the Atreides Imperium.
		Thus some of the entries in The Dune Encyclopedia were written by people who actually lived at the time of Muad'Dib; others were prepared by contemporary scholars based upon older materials, and still other entries represent preliminary papers prepared by the many investigators at Dar-es-Balat.

		The scifi channel made a movie for Dune and Children of Dune (which included a little bit of Dune Messiah), they were more faithful to the books, but they do not capture the full story and atmosphere of Dune.
		Since Dune is almost written like a history book, there's a richness of backstory that will be lost in any dramatic presentation.That's why you read it even though "you've seen the movie".
		From the Dune movie, this is nit-picking and I admit it, the whole sound weapon or "weirding-weapon" thing made me want to ask if Lynch had even read the book.

		Legends Of Dune is a series of three books set in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson.
		This trilogy is set over 10000 years from now in the history of the Dune universe, and is based on the theory that the Butlerian Jihad described by Frank Herbert represents a conflict where humans and sentient machines battle for supremacy.

		To clear up any confusion that might exist, the authors think it is important to explain that THE DUNE ENCYCLOPEDIA reflects an alternate "DUNE universe" which did not necessarily represent the "canon" created by Frank Herbert.
		Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, writing with Kevin J. Anderson, IS continuing to establish the canon of the DUNE universe.
		This is being done with the full approval of the owner of the DUNE copyright, the Herbert Limited Partnership.

		If you have read all 6 of Frank's Dune books, one difference about the writing style you will quickly notice is that whereas Frank's chapters are usually between 6-10 pages long, Brian keeps them interesting and short usually between 3-5 pages long.
		As a Dune fan, I never expected the book to be on the same level, but never did I imagine it would be so bad.

		While there are many more important stories to tell in the Dune universe, Brian and Kevin have decided that the next major project they will undertake—the next story the fans want to read—is DUNE 7, based on a detailed outline Frank Herbert left in a safety deposit box before his death.

		The breathtaking vision and incomparable storytelling of Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson's Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, a prequel to Frank Herbert's classic Dune, propelled it to the ranks of speculative fiction's classics in its own right.
		Pages and page are devoted to meaningless descriptions of trivial details (such as parties), there is no dialogue to speak of, and the character relationships are murky and hard to follow.
		The DUNE series was much better when it was simply the 6 original books by Frank Herbert, with the tantalizing and never to be fulfilled hints at the final, seventh novel.

Now, in Dune: 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.

		Herbert and Anderson (Dune: House Atreides; Dune: House Harkonnen; Dune: House Corrino) continue their prehistory of Frank Herbert's "Dune" series with a new trilogy opener set in the distant past of Herbert's galactic saga.
		This compelling saga of men and women struggling for their freedom is required reading for Dune fans and an essential purchase for libraries.
		Wait for paperback, don't think that this is going to greatly enrich your experience of the Dune universe, simply view it as a pulp story that will give you a bit of back history on the great houses.

		It was obvious from the original Dune book that a whole lot of stuff happened long before Paul Atreides came upon the scene.
		We meet Tio Holtzman, the man who would become known for some amazing inventions that exist even in Dune's time (and incidentally, we find that his reputation is overrated, and certain attitudes of his are somewhat reprehensible).
		I don't just recommend this to Dune fans; I'd recommend it to folks who have no familiarity with Dune (while some things won't obviously tie in to the series, I expect, I feel that the majority of the book will be dealt with in-series).

		The Legend books introduce some idiotic concepts which, if you actually think about them, are illogical and fly in the face of Dune canon.
		Combining suspense, writing skill, length, and storytelling, Dune; the machine crusade is a great dune addition to a dune fan's bookshelf, and, for that matter, a sci-fi fan's shelf.
		The title says it all: Dune: the machine crusade is mostly about the war against the thinking robots, with the people of Arrakis, the cymeks, and Norma Cenva and Aurelius Venport just having a small role in the story.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Dune: The Battle of Corrin
		The obscene self-destructive nature of the cult is matched only by the perversity of the politicians who embrace it as a means to consolidating their power base -- and the resonances the novel's cult coruscates with are a match for our own perilous, real-world flirtation with turning government over to extreme strains of religion.
		There is something of a departure from the sci-fi eco-novel that was the original Dune, to zippily burnished space opera, but that's nothing that the elder Herbert didn't do himself in the five Dune sequels he penned.
		The most potent surprise might just be that aforementioned notion of scaling history, because the Dune books all share a common theme: no matter where in the galaxy humanity might venture, and what novel mental and physical forms mankind might adopt, the dictates of power and family and politics will forever be the same.

		It seems that the Spacing Guild, The Bene Gesserit, the Emperial House (Corrino), The Suk Medical Schools, The Swordmasters of Ginaz, and a host of other major technologies, organizations, and players in the Dune world, were all the result of maybe 6 people and their actions over the space of 150 years.
		I won't detail them here except to say Brian obviously hasn't carefully read his father's books and his attempts to explain away his ignorance of the world of Dune on the FAQ's on the Dune website are at best very sad.
		Besides that, it reminded me of the same excitement that I felt when I first read Dune Messiah and realized that Herbert wasn't going to be writing an ode to heroic religious types but a complicated epic.

		On the very day that DUNE: HOUSE HARKONNEN hit the New York Times bestseller list, Brian and Kevin accepted an offer from Tor Books to do a new DUNE trilogy based on the seminal events of the Butlerian Jihad, the epochal conflict between humans and thinking machines set many thousands of years in Dune's past.
		The contract for three books, with an advance of a solid seven figures per novel, calls for the volumes to be published annually, so DUNE fans will have plenty more to read in years to come.
		Brian and Kevin also have Frank Herbert's complete outline for "DUNE 7," a sequel to CHAPTERHOUSE: DUNE, which is intended to be the grand finale for the entire series.
