Locus ran a poll of readers on April 15, 1975 in which Dune 'was voted the all-time best science-fiction novel … It has sold over ten million copies in numerous editions. The eight short stories include " Dune: A Whisper of Caladan Seas" (2001), " Dune: Hunting Harkonnens" (2002), " Dune: Whipping Mek" (2003), " Dune: The Faces of a Martyr" (2004), " Dune: Sea Child" (2006), " Dune: Treasure in the Sand" (2006), " Dune: Wedding Silk" (2008), and " Dune: Red Plague" (2016). this is the second novel in Frank Herbert's great trilogy that begins in the most honored of all novels of imagination, DUNE. He wrote that the invaluable drug melange "represents, among other things, the finite resource of oil".

Leto governs as a benevolent tyrant, providing for his people's physical needs, but denying them any spiritual outlets other than his own compulsory religion (as well as maintaining a monopoly on spice and thus total control of its use). Leto’s growth continues in House Harkonnen, which also goes deeper into the sordid pleasures and betrayals of his great rival, Vladimir Harkonnen. This balance of power is shattered by a large influx of people from the Scattering, some fleeing persecution by an as-yet unknown enemy. Mutated Guild Navigators use the spice drug melange to successfully navigate " folded space" and safely guide enormous heighliner starships from planet to planet instantaneously.

Humans had set those machines to usurp our sense of beauty, our necessary selfdom out of which we make living judgments. The Ixians are very secretive, not only to protect their valuable hold on the industry but also to hide any methods or inventions that may breach the anti-thinking machine protocols. Working from Frank Herbert's notes, titled "Dune 7," Brian and Anderson again expanded the series in Legends of Dune, a new trilogy.So that’s an original storyline, largely written by the father, and two prequel trilogies written by the son and his partner: easy enough to keep straight.
