	Dune (novel)
		Dune is a science fiction novel by Frank Herbert.
		Dune is the sole source of melange, a "spice" that gives prescience and prolongs the user's lifespan; with it the Guild Navigators see a path through foldspace, and the Bene Gesserit can enhance their abilities.
		Dune was awarded the Nebula award and tied for the Hugo award.

		Dune, winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards, is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, with nearly fifteen million copies in print.
		This is a fitting prelude to Dune - the Hugo and Nebula-award-winning novel which is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, with nearly ten million copies in print.
		Drawing on notes, outlines and correspondence Frank Herbert left behind at his death, as well as conversations and brain-storming sessions Brian Herbert held with his father, House Atreides is a breathtaking story of war, treachery and of love, loyalty and steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds.

	DUNE aka ARRAKIS
		Dune is the centre of all activity in the known Universe.
		Frank Herbert's Dune Chronicles are arguably comparable in scope and depth to JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and related writings.
		Newcomers to Dune on the other hand found it very difficult to follow the story despite the clever way in which the story was introduced to the audience.

	Dune by Frank Herbert Book Reviews
		Dune became a pop culture phenomenon and entered the cultural lexicon as a book that defined the times while it predicted the culture of the future.
		Dune is set in a futuristic world where space travel is possible and induvidual houses have their own planets.
		Dune is especially impressive because it was written in the fifties when sci-fi was still only a pup.

	"Dune: Spice World" - Interview with Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson
		Half of the story is set in the Jihad between DUNE and DUNE MESSIAH, when Princess Irulan decides to become Paul’s official biographer, and she will tell the other half of the story, chronicling Paul’s younger years (between HOUSE CORRINO and DUNE).
		The David Lynch version of DUNE had some excellent actors and very imaginative scenes and sets -- and it did attract a new audience for the novels, but many parts of the story were not the same as Frank Herbert wrote.
		The New Amsterdam versions of DUNE and CHILDREN OF DUNE were much more faithful to the original material, and even thought they were done on a much smaller budget than Lynch’s movie, they are very enoyabald.

	Read Hot: Prelude to Dune: House Atreides by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
		Prelude to Dune; House Atriedes is a book based on the initial drama crafted by Frank Herbert.
		Returning to the desert world of Dune where Sandworms guard the precious spice mélange and the ruling powers are not always who they seem to be.
		Personally I think that this prelude focuses more on action than the originals subtle little tricks but this does not matter as there is so much to get through in one book that it would be extremely difficult to write a book short enough that readers would not be put off by its immense size.

	"Dune: Spice World" - Interview with Byron Merritt
		Dune is the science fiction novel that many other stories in the same genre are compared to.
		I think the issue some "Dune fans" are having is that Brian and Kevin don't have the same prose as Frank.
		Dune Messiah was my least favorite of the original series, but they did a really good job of adapting it to the screen.

	dune
		I had never been much interested in the new Dune novels written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson, because I had assumed that the only reason for their existence was to make money off his father's reputation.
		She was kind enough to lend me The Butlerian Jihad and the three Prelude To Dune novels.
		The original Dune novel was written in the sixties, so Frank Herbert can't be blamed for not making the technology of the distant future consistent with what has actually taken place over the last 30 years.

		This is the third of the Dune: House books, which as a group make up a major 'prequel' to where the action starts in the original classic Dune.

		When we set out to create a prequel trilogy to DUNE based on many of the notes and papers Frank Herbert left behind at his death, we were pleased to see the excitement and enthusiasm this generated among the fans.

		I read DUNE when I was ten years old, and reread it several times over the years; then I read and enjoyed all of the sequels.

		Both are Frank Herbert titles, for various stories he was writing in his Dune universe - and should give the fans some clue about the direction we intend to take with each novel.
		Since there are twelve Dune novels preceding “Dune 7,” we could not tell the climactic story in one novel, and needed to do it in two books.
		We also hope to publish THE ROAD TO DUNE in the spring of 2006, which will be a collection of unpublished chapters and scenes written by Frank Herbert, along with essays and other commentary.

		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.
