I agree Brian Herbert’s books leave a lot to be desired, but at least Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune answered many longtime questions I had after reading Chapterhouse Dune
Those 2 round off the main story, but the quality is completely different than Frank's own writing. Nothing like the depth. 'Chapterhouse' was probably my fave in the series (the 1st novel too of course), and it's a great shame that Frank didn't live to write follow up himself.
It would have been great If Frank had completed the saga, but his son Brian was fortunate to have stumbled upon a safety deposit box with Frank’s notes and outline which allowed him to complete the series. My Favorite book was Heretics of Dune. The introduction of the Honored Matres, The New Face Dancers from the scattering, Sheeana and her abilities to control the Sandworms, Miles Teg’s ability to move faster than the eye can see after he’s tortured by the T-probe, The Tleilaxu Master Tylwyth Waff, Murbella and Duncan Idaho, Dar & Tar,.it doesn't get any better.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I, Robot by Issac Asimov Frank Herbert's Dune series The Foundation books of Asimov The Puppetmasters by Robert Heinlein Anything by Philip K. Dick ( my fave SF author)
If you’re just starting out I’d begin with a few of the classics like; Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein Brave New World by Aldous Huxley The Time Machine by H.G. Wells Childhood’s End by Arthur C Clarke Ring World by Larry Niven Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Dune by Frank Herbert Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke
After seeing the movie it would seem strange reading the novel. i've read dozens upon dozens of books that were turned into movies, but the reverse?
