The epic that began with the HUGO and NEBULA Award-winning classic DUNE -- now a major motion picture from the director of Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival -- continues . . . The sand-blasted world of Arrakis has become green, watered and fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the desert Fremen to political and religious domination of the galaxy, is gone. But for the children of Dune, the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own destruction. The altered climate is destroying the giant sandworms, and this in turn is disastrous for the planet' s economy. Leto and Ghanima, Paul Atreides' s twin children and his heirs, can see possible solutions - but fanatics begin to challenge the rule of the all-powerful Atreides empire, and more than economic disaster threatens . . .

I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings * Arthur C. Clarke on Dune * It is possible that Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published * The New Yorker on Dune * An astonishing science fiction phenomenon * The Washington Post on Dune * One of the monuments of modern science fiction * The Chicago Tribune on Dune * Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious * Robert A. Heinlein on Dune * A novel of extraordinary complexity . . . the work of a speculative intellect with few rivals in modern SF * The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction on Dune * A tight mesmerising fabric, interwoven with a potent element of mysticism . . . intensely realised * Brian W. Aldiss on Dune *
Frank Herbert (1920-86) was born in Tacoma, Washington and worked as a reporter and later editor of a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first sf story was published in 1952 but he achieved fame more than ten years later with the publication in Analog of DUNE WORLD and THE PROPHET OF DUNE, amalgamated in the novel DUNE in 1965.
