Excerpt from "DUNE (Novel)" on Wikipedia

Dune is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert and published in 1965. A joint winner of the 1966 Hugo Award and the winner of the first Nebula Award for Best Novel, Dune is popularly considered one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history[1] and was the first bestselling hardcover science fiction novel ever.[2] Dune spawned five sequels written by Herbert, and inspired a 1984 film adaptation by David Lynch, two mini-series made by the Sci Fi Channel, computer games, board games, and a series of prequels and sequels co-written by the author's son Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Dune is set far in the future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar empire where planetary fiefdoms are controlled by noble Houses that owe allegiance to the Imperial House Corrino. The novel tells the story of young Paul Atreides (heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides and scion of House Atreides) as he and his family relocate to the planet Arrakis, the only source of the spice melange, the most important and valuable substance in the universe. In a story that explores the complex interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, the fate of Paul, his family, his new planet and its native inhabitants, as well as the Padishah Emperor, the powerful Spacing Guild, and the secretive female order of the Bene Gesserit, are all drawn together into a confrontation that will change the course of humanity."

The ultimate Sci-fi/fantasy novel, i adored these books since i was 12 in the early 90's and been a fan ever since. These books influenced many films like Star Wars, Avatar, Star Trek movies, Serenity, The Dark Crystal, The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Dark City, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds and more. Who agrees? i can't wait for the new 4-part big screen new movie which will do justice to the books.

The final three read like fanfiction don't you think?

I read Sandworms of Dune in a library. Very disappointing. Too many non-essential characters ( literally cloned from dead tissue ). No depth and subtlety at all. The ending involving the Oracle of Time is an overused fantasy cliche :/

It's not just due to writing skills. Frank Herbert delved into Sufi/ Zen spirituality, which is totally lacking in the non-classic books.

My suggestion: just read the summary, flip through the action and ignore every chapter set aboard the no-ship.

new novels are shit,i read thinking machine n battle of corrin,both arn't that good,me main problem is youll get lost wit too much jumping around from each character story plot to the next,youll av to go back n re-read some chapters about what happen to this character n that,please make the novels reader friendly like what you get in r.a salvatore drizzt novels n some star wars novels,anyways,replace the writer innit.
