The entire Dune Series reveals Herbert's intense grip on the workings of religion, politics, economics, ecology, drugs and God in human affairs. His staggering intellect and outstanding story-telling ability never ceases to amaze me. I'm in the middle of reading the entire series for the second time, and I'm certain it won't be the last. I highly recommend reading Dune and the five sequels written by Frank Herbert before his death.- Read vajrasteve's review (71 words)

Some creepily well argued views of what the future may hold for us, evolutionarily speaking.- Read Guest's review (75 words)

Each of the major characters and the groups from which they belong are so detailed and stand out from the book enough to have stories in their own right.
Frank Herbert uses our feudal past to construc ...- Read Voya's review (151 words and 1 comment)
