Fantasy author Rajan Khanna sampled the first few sequels, but remains most interested in the original novel. Anderson) has written more than a dozen more. “I remember clearly reading the Wheel of Time books for the first time,” she says, “and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, this is totally Dune.’ He just lifted it wholesale.”įrank Herbert wrote five sequels to Dune, and his son Brian Herbert (together with Kevin J.
DUNE BOOK SERIES TV
TV writer Andrea Kail says that Dune‘s influence on the Wheel of Time series is particularly obvious. “I’m in absolute awe, just thinking about the kind of effort and thought it would take to write a book like this.”ĭune has influenced many subsequent works, from Star Wars to Game of Thrones. “It’s a really impressive book, just coming from the point of view of a writer,” he says.

(For me I started and seem to have to continue.
It's a car crash of a series and I would steer well clear of them. but halfway through gave up and the last book was never published.Īs you may tell I felt the 'modern' additions to the library are not worth reading, not as well written as Frank's, it feels as though the ideas being drawn on are not his (at least not all of them). And then broke the last book in two, before deciding we needed another set of prequels and then another. Then came to the conclusion that we would not understand what was going on and needed some prequels to set things up. I remember Herbert saying after that there would be one more book, but he died and it all seemed to be over until Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson decided to write the sequel from his notes.

God Emperor, strangely found a very easy read.

I found Messiah to be a lot slower than the original, but with a great ending, and I really enjoyed Children. (There are others I would like to read more than once, but I just don't seem to have the time )Īnd I have read Dune Messiah and Children of Dune at least twice as well. I love Dune, it remains one of the few books I have read more than once. (Well I do have one or two of the newer ones sitting on my to read pile.)
