Comments

JZB: Decided to get the Hardcover because it was the same price as the paperback and felt like a no brainer - was hoping based on the sample preview it was the 1999 "Science Fiction's Supreme Masterpiece" cover, but it's the same design as the paperback in a hardcover format (which I was happy about given some of the other possibilities)

S. Michele: What an amazing book! Thanks to Frank Henry for what he undertook in researching, writing, rewriting, and perseverance to find its first publisher! I think I'll keep going. ;)

Madigan Likes to Read: Given the sociopolitical climate today, this book is imo even more relevant today than it was when I first read it 10yrs ago, maybe even more than when it was first published in 1965. Sure, it’s a science fiction novel, but I find meaning in it as social commentary, political commentary, a commentary on the danger of organized religion, and as commentary on the nature of humanity within the context of its long history. Oh, and let’s not forget the feminism! Without a doubt, this book slaps. A+ one million stars.

Scott Schiefelbein: I can't say that I'm proud to be a few decades late to a popular culture phenomenon, but I finally read "Dune."

Whoa, boy. While I can't claim to be a full-throated Dune fanatic after completing this first read, I definitely understand why Frank Herbert's novel gave the sci-fi community something it didn't even know that it wanted.

The comparisons of Frank Herbert's "Dune" to JRR Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" are obvious (even though Tolkien allegedly did not like "Dune" at all). Both authors created expansive new worlds for their readers to explore, filled with characters who could each have been heroes of their own stories, and the stakes of those fights included essentially world domination. As I finished "Dune," I knew with absolute certainty that I had missed a lot of crucial details and that I had lots of questions about key players. I also knew that I wanted to spend more time in this universe that Herbert had created.

Full disclosure - I grew up in a small town near Port Townsend, Washington, where Frank Herbert had moved in the early 1970s, and even in the pre-Internet age we always heard his name mentioned by his readers with a kind...

Charles Scott: The science-fiction novel, Dune, written by Frank Herbert and published in 1965 might just as easily have provided the precursor literary materials for a "Hallmark Home for the Holidays" screen-play as it would have for any of several "Star Wars" episodes. It is a meaningful, versatile, very adaptable novel. The book is good and offers deeply religious connotations. It provides historical significance, dating back from ancient times, and suggests serious implications for the future, involving social and political stability.
Ostensibly, the story follows a doting, overly-protective, single mother who wants only what is best for her son. She takes him on a camping trip, in order for him to win the equivalent of a "Boy Scout" merit badge in survival skills. Basically, his task is to provide food for the family in the wilderness. If he can find the right bait and put it on a hook to catch a fish for dinner, he all but assures himself of attaining the merit badge he seeks. The problem is, they soon discover that the lake has all but dried-up. The waters have receded, or they have been diverted, somehow. Hence, he has to hunt for alternative sources of...
