Frank
Herbert

Herbert wrote a fair number of science fiction
novels, most of which did not get beyond the mid-ranks. But the Dune sequence,
particularly the masterful original was an unparalleled feat of writing.

Dune
Published July 1968 Few science fiction
books have had the same impact as Dune. If your only experience is the film, forget it -
the book is a whole different ball game. Herbert conjours up the complexity of a future
culture beautifully, making a superb melange of existing influences. The detail of the
book and the subtly interwoven themes will delight you for many readings. If Dune isn't on
your shelf, it ought to be. New 1 September 1999

Dune
Messiah
Published 1 September, 1972 The sequel to Dune was inevitably a bit
of a let down after the stunning original. However it merits re-reading, and there enough
new delights to make it stand up in its own right. The direction taken by the central
character is much darker than in the first book (hence an excess of agonising) but still
great. New 25 September 1999
Children
of Dune
Published 1 March, 1978 Third in line, once more Herbert manages to
bring in enough delightful strangeness to make you read on and on. Focussing on the
children of Paul, the hero of the first two books, some of the twists and turns will
surpris and fascinate you. Rather too much philosophising between the action, and you may
like me be irritated at the way a heroine from the previous book has become chief baddy,
but there is plenty of action and thought provoking development.
