| | Cylon Alliance - The Dune Epic |
| | Continuing the epic thousands of years in the future, this book was remarkable for its portrayal of a continuing conflict between the mutant god and tyrant ruler, Leto II, and a seemingly endless series of cloned Duncan Idahos, all of whom eventually see the ruler as a sinister threat that must be removed. | | | Heretics of Dune is primarily an adventure tale and is far less epic than its predecessors. | | | This story is a bit darker than the already dim outlook of the previous books. |

| | Star Wars Origins - Frank Herbert's Dune |
| | Dune was strongly influenced by Lawrence: Paul is the messianic man of two tribes leading the Jihad, the Beduins are the Fremen, the Harkonnens are the Turks, the Sardaukar are German Troops, and the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV represents both the German government and the British crown. | | | Frank Herbert was uneasy because the point of his novel was to explore the dangers of mistaking a man for a god, and the film implied that Paul was a god. | | | In 1926 Lawrence recorded his adventures in the autobiographical novel The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, which was immediately lauded as the greatest adventure story ever told. |

| | Most of the novel is just silly philosophizing around a muddy plot. | | | Dune Messiah chronicles the attempts of the Bene Gesserit, the Spacing Guild and Emperor Shaddam’s daughter (now wife of Paul Atreides) to bring about Paul’s downfall. | | | A lot of familiar characters from Dune are present in this novel, plus a plethora of new faces. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Dune: Books |
| | For me, Dune is a standalone novel that needs no further explanation with other pieces of literature (save the fantastic glossary included, which clarifies everything you need to know). | | | Dune is one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written, and deservedly so. | | | However I don’t imply that the book is full of dense, terse, symbolic writing that would make English graduates salivate. |

| | His novels Memorymakers and Blood on the Sun were written in collaboration with his cousin, Marie Landis. | | | Dune remains the bestselling SF novel ever, such that three decades later no prequel can possibly have the same impact. | | | An epic saga of love and war, crime and politics, religion and revolution, this magnificent novel is a fitting conclusion to a great science fiction trilogy. |

| | Frank Herbert's Dune - Forget what you know! |
| | From his use of Metaphor to his knowledge of comparative religions and philosophical mysticism to his detaling of ecology and terraforming, to his commentary on government and economics, Herbert shows that each detail of the universe he constructed is covered, researched and well thought out! | | | Some of the most fascinating moments of the novel come from a character's relaxed meditation. | | | There are a couple of little tiny details in what I just said that raise the interest of both the Emperor and House Harkonnen (ever in vendetta against the Atreides) once again. |

| | In the novel, this is accomplished through years of terraforming, and it does not rain for decades after Paul ascends the throne. | | | The major plot concerned a young man foretold in prophecy as the Kwisatz Haderach who will save a desert planet from the evil House Harkonnen, and cleanse the universe of evil in a religious Jihad. | | | In the novel, the final line, spoken by Jessica to Chani, is "Those of us who bear the name of concubine, history will remember as wives" (in reference to Paul's marriage to and refusal of Irulan). |

| | Dune... All hail Lynch's worst movie! |
| | The filmic adaptations of both novels were labors of love from established stars (David Lynch and John Travolta respectively), and in both cases the novels became meandering, silly B-Movies with one dimensional characters and over-acted, goofy dialogue. | | | I'd love to give it my worst review possible. | | | Dune by Frank Herbert shares many of the same problems as Battlefield Earth by L. |

| | You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensations which tells you this is something you've always known. | | | Accuracy and honesty have nothing to do with it. | | | It is a warning that institutions endure, that symbols endure when their meaning is lost, that there is no summa of all attainable knowledge. |

| | Dune |
| | Herbert did not stretch himself linguistically as Tolkien had - the languages of his Fremen and Bene Gesserit are much more closely based on Arabic and Hebrew than Tolkien's Quenya and Sindarin on any real language. | | | The human environment of Dune is rather closely related to that of a medieval fantasy, with a feudal system involving Barons, Dukes, and the Emperor who bestows entire planets as fiefs on his followers. | | | Both, indeed, are novelisations of stories originally published in Analog. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: The Children of Dune: The Third Dune Novel (Gollancz SF S.): Books |
| | Whilst this book is a bit heavy and thoughtful at times -- I've read enough about Leto II debating the spice trance by now, thank you very much -- it's not enough to dissuade me or make me loathe to pick it up again each time I stop. | | | This is definitely a book about House Atriedes as its main concern is evidently the relationships between the surviving members of this family, their retainers and servants. | | | This 3rd novel in the Dune sequence follows on fairly directly from Dune Messiah, and sees another power struggle over the planet Arrakis, with Paul’s son Leto now pushed into the role of a new messiah. |

| | Dune (1984) |
| | Yeah, DUNE sure is the runt of the Lynch litter but there are still aspects of it that I really love, even for all its cockeyed, club-footed awkwardness. | | | From that point on, being led through the strange world of the Emperor and his entourage on Kaitain, the oddly-garbed Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, and the Guild Navigator emissaries in all their variously-staged mutated splendour, I was hopelessly infatuated with all things DUNE. | | | For all its failures I can't even imagine what any contemporary of Lynch might have done with the material. |
