Frank Herbert’s Dune series began with the publication of Dune in 1965, initially serialized in Analog magazine before being published as a novel by Chilton Books. Despite a slow start, Dune gained critical acclaim, winning both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, and became one of the best-selling science fiction novels of all time. Herbert continued the saga with Dune Messiah (1969) and Children of Dune (1976), the latter becoming the first science fiction novel to hit The New York Times bestseller list. God Emperor of Dune (1981), Heretics of Dune (1984), and Chapterhouse: Dune (1985) further expanded the series, which abruptly ended due to Herbert’s passing in 1986.
