He looked pretty much like the bastard offspring of a Guirani Indio and some backwoods farmer's daughter, some sertanista who'd tried to forget her enslavement to the encomendero system by "eating the iron" - which is what they call lovemaking through the grill of a consel gate.

With
DUNEand its brilliant offspring, Frank Herbert changed science fiction forever, creating a world of wonders totally believable, yet totally unlike our own.
THE GREEN BRAIN,Herbert's first novel after DUNE, strikes closer to home. It is set in the not-far-distant future, on an Earth totally planned and controlled, where every form of life is at last under man's domination. Even the insects. Until nature decides to take revenge...

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
