Product Information

The blend of science-aversion, exploitation of the naive by systematic manipulation of religion and witchcraft, and the harsh realities of life in a barren and mineral depleted desert is astounding. I love these books!‘ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Een van de meest vermaarde scifi reeksen - en terecht! De invloed van Dune op alles wat erop volgde kan niet overschat worden. Verschillende filosofische, religieuze, en sociologische thema's worden besproken in een messianistisch kaderverhaal met een grondig en min of meer realistisch uitgebouwde, maar toch atypische wereld; het typische motief van een doorgedreven computermaatschappij is vervangen door een feodaal systeem met een achterdocht voor 'denkende' technologie en een focus op mysticisme en individuen gespecialiseerd voor een bepaalde functie. In these last three installments of Frank Herbert’s Dune Chronicles, the pace slows way down. The vast majority of these books are philosophical in nature. I loved the world and it was really intriguing! It was so fascinating to imagine life in this kind of world.

With God Emperor of Dune, the story jumps thousands of years ahead as Leto II’s plan to prevent the extinction of humanity reaches its pivotal moment. The result is the Scattering, humanity’s forced spread across the universe. More millennia pass until Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune, which tell of tensions that arise among the keepers of Arrakis after waves of refugees return from the Scattering, fleeing from a great enemy. The first part of Denis Villeneuve’s movie adaptation was received exceptionally well by both audiences and critics, indicating that Dune may have finally achieved a breakthrough in pop culture to match Tolkien. This was helped by a star-studded and devoted cast made up of Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Oscar Isacc, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and many more. This is sure to be repeated with the release of Part Two on November 3, 2023. The film will see the addition of actors like Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV, and more. But new fans coming to the books by way of Villeneuve's films may struggle to find the proper starting place. There are many more Dune novels than there are for Middle-earth, stretching in two directions in time out from the original Dune book of 1965. Different books cover different conflicts, each with some relation to one another, and then there are all those strange names and terminology to keep straight. Many consider him to be the master of the Sci-fi genre, and I can't dispute that as I haven't read enough of the genre to be a judge. I still maintain that I prefer watching sci-fi to reading it. I'm glad that I gave it a try and that I forced myself to finish the first book.

Dune Messiah [ Berkley Medallion Edition, Sept. 1975 ] (this is the second novel in Frank Herbert's great trilogy that begins in the most honored of all novels of imagination, DUNE.) One of the most important features of the trilogy is the interrelationship between the people and the environment. Dune was not always a desert, and some would like to see the desertification reversed. Is it possible? And at what cost? Moving from ecology to people: lineage is critical. Paul Atreides and his descendants are key. I was actually very relieved that the author didn't try to keep describing the surroundings. I mean; what sort of world-building does anyone really need? It's a desert inhabited by giant worms.
