Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring us the magnificent final chapter in the unforgettable saga of the events leading up to Frank Herbert's immortal Dune...

DUNE
HOUSE CORRINO


In subterranean labs on the planet Ix, cruel Tleilaxu overlords are busy manufacturing a synthetic form of melange known as amal.  If amal can supplant the spice from Dune, Emperor Shaddam IV will gain absolute power.  But if the plot of the Imperial House Corrino succeeds, this madness may result in the end of space travel, the Imperium, and civilization itself.  It is only Duke Leto Atreides, badly overmatched yet desperate to free the Ixians from their oppressors, who stands a chance of averting this cataclysmic tragedy...

"[Fans] rejoice in this chance to return to one of science fiction's most appealing futures."
- The New York Times Book Review

"[The authors] have brought this classic saga back to an exciting and dynamic life."

Brian Herbert is the oldest son of noted science fiction author Frank Herbert who wrote the Dune series of books.  Brian has a younger brother Bruce and an older sister Penny.  Brian was an honor student and he graduated early from high school when he was 16.  He married young as well to his wife Jan.  He went to the University of California at Berkeley and received a BA in Sociology.  He has been married for over 30 years and they have three daughters, Julie, Kimberly and Margaux.

Brian did not begin writing until he was nearly 30 years old.  His first two books were Incredible Insurance Claims and Classic Comebacks.  He kept a journal which he used to write a biography of his father Frank Herbert entitled Dreamer of Dune.  Brian Herbert used the entire Dune series to write the Dune Concordence.  He used this as a reference book when writing the Prelude to Dune series with Kevin J Anderson.

  • 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.
