Frank Herbert’s magnificent Dune chronicle sprawls across countless planets and tens of millennia. His genius was in creating a complex, vast universe in such intricate detail that it all felt real to the readers.

Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have written thirteen international bestselling novels set in this epic universe.
