Everyone knows Frank Herbert's Dune. This science fiction epic
combines politics human evolution and ecology and has captured the
imagination of generations of readers. It is one of the most
popular science fiction novels ever written, has won awards, sold
millions of copies around the world and spawned multiple
motion-picture adaptations. Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert's eldest
son, tells the provocative story of his father's extraordinary life
in this honest and loving chronicle. He has also brought to light
all the events in Herbert's life that would find their way into
speculative fiction's greatest epic. From his early years in
Tacoma, Washington, through his time at university and in the Navy,
to the difficult years of poverty while struggling to become a
published writer, Herbert worked long and hard before finding
success after the publication of Dune in 1965. Brian Herbert writes
about these years with a truthful intensity that brings every facet
of his father's brilliant, and sometimes troubled, genius to full
light. Insightful and provocative, containing family photos never
published anywhere, this absorbing biography offers Brian Herbert's
unique personal perspective on one of the most enigmatic and
creative talents of our time.
It is eighty-three years after the last of the thinking machines
were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took
the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of
a new Imperium. Great changes are brewing that will shape and twist
all of humankind.
The war hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on politics and
Salusa Secundus. The descendants of Abulurd Harkonnen Griffen and
Valya have sworn vengeance against Vor, blaming him for the
downfall of their fortunes. Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the
Bene Gesserit School on the jungle planet Rossak as the first
Reverend Mother. The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma
Cenva have built Venport Holdings, using mutated, spice-saturated
Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners. Gilbertus Albans, the
ward of the hated Erasmus, is teaching humans to become
Mentats...and hiding an unbelievable secret.
The Butlerian movement, rabidly opposed to all forms of "dangerous
technology," is led by Manford Torondo and his devoted Swordmaster,
Anari Idaho. And it is this group, so many decades after the defeat
of the thinking machines, which begins to sweep across the known
universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its
path.
Every one of these characters, and all of these groups, will become
enmeshed in the contest between Reason and Faith. All of them will
be forced to choose sides in the inevitable crusade that could
destroy humankind forever....
Collected for the first time, these three previously unpublished Dune novellas by bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson shine a light upon the darker corners of the Dune universe. Spanning space and time, Sands of Dune is essential reading for any fan of the series.
The world of Dune has shaped an entire generation of science fiction. From the sand blasted world of Arrakis, to the splendor of the imperial homeworld of Kaitain, readers have lived in a universe of treachery and wonder.
Now, these stories expand on the Dune universe, telling of the lost years of Gurney Halleck as he works with smugglers on Arrakis in a deadly gambit for revenge; inside the ranks of the Sardaukar as the child of a betrayed nobleman becomes one of the Emperor's most ruthless fighters; a young firebrand Fremen woman, a guerrilla fighter against the ruthless Harkonnens, who will one day become Shadout Mapes.
