In 1965, after being rejected by more than a dozen publishing houses, a book called “Dune” was brought out by the Chilton Book Company. Its respected author, journalist Frank Herbert, had written “Dune” with nothing more in mind than to entertain his readers with the telling of a particularly complex story, one which had occupied his thoughts for more than six years. No one – not Herbert, not Chilton, not the science fiction community at the time – had any idea that “Dune” would be adopted and read by successive generations with a fervor bordering on cult worship. Or that it would prove to be merely the first of what have now become five international bestsellers about a desert world of the future – the planet Arrakis, called Dune.

Summary
Overall Dune by Frank Herbert 412 pages published in 1965 One of the first widely recognized science fiction works. Winning both the Hugo Award and the very first Nebula Award for best science fiction novel. This book is the start of the Dune Saga. Best of the books to me. It's a very big story. Pay close attention and stay focused and you will enjoy a very good story. It can be difficult to follow at times if you don't stay focused on the book. Pick a quiet corner and have fun reading!
