Frank Herbert

Frank Patrick Herbert (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986) was a critically and commercially successful American science fiction author. He is best known for the novel Dune, and the five other novels in the series that followed it. The Dune saga dealt with themes such as human survival and evolution, ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics, and power.

Continuation of the series

Herbert left behind notes for both the history of the Dune universe before the events of Dune and the novel he had planned to follow Chapterhouse: Dune. In recent years, Brian Herbert (Frank's son) and Kevin J. Anderson, have used those notes to write a successful series of novels based on the pre-Dune materials and are preparing to write two post-Chapterhouse novels (Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune) based on the "Dune 7" outline written by Frank Herbert.
