New Dune Novels to be Released
There are two new Dune Novels going to be released on August 22: The Hunters of Dune and The Sandworms of Dune. They will complete the Dune saga.
For those of you who have not read the Dune saga, it may be the best series of science fiction books ever written. Just my opinion, but the scope, imagination, and story telling of Dune is just amazing.
The orginal Dune series has 6 books:
Dune
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
Heretics of Dune
Chapterhouse: Dune
I must admit that the books and writing gets a bit odd during the Dune Messiah and Children of Dune books, but picks up and becomes one amazing sci fi read.
The next series of books written then go's back to just before the first Dune book. These are called the Prelude to Dune books:
House Atreides
House Harkonnen
House Corrino
The next series goes back even further in time to cover some legends mentioned in the first series of books:
The Butlerian Jihad
The Machine Crusade
The Battle of Corrin
These older books are just plane awesome science fiction.
I am very excited about the new Dune books. This makes 14 books in the entire science fiction series.
