Frank Herbert's Dune Chronicles

Dune

Here is the novel that will forever be considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family—and would bring to fruition hmankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.

A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

Chapterhouse: Dune

By Frank and Beverly Herbert

The ongoing Dune legend has already encompassed some 50,000 years: Empires have risen and fallen; hundreds of planets have been colonized, then abandoned; super-technology has been perfected, abused, shunned, used again. Yet still no Dune phenomenon has come to equal the 3,500-year rule of Leto II who, for the millenia of his strange reign, not only controlled the fate of billiotns, but set humanity on the "Golden Path."

Now, 1,500 years after Leto, his Golden Path has led to Armageddon: The remnants of the only institution remaining from the Old Empire, the Bene Gesserit, are locked in a fight to the death against the Honored Matres — the bloodthirsty, violent leaders of an alien culture born out of the Scattering after Leto's death.

A cosmology is at stake. A new civilization must be forged from treasured memories of the old. A new Dune must arise, and with it, the writing of a history no human being, living or dead, can ever have dared imagine.

With Chapterhouse: Dune, Frank Herbert has bestowed a new beginning on the epic tale of the desert planet. Blending familiar, beloved characters and situations with a whole fresh woorld of actions and events, he leaves us breathless to make the next astonishing leap in the evolving grandeur that is Dune.
