Following his death in 1986, the stewardship of Frank Herbert’s Dune universe passed on to his son, Brian, who has continued to publish novels to this day diving into the history and lore of his father’s epic sci-fi universe. If your encore viewing of Dune: Part Two has left you with an urge to learn more about the Dune universe, Humble is currently offering a collection of 16 novels authored by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson that explore the houses, events, and other key players that have shaped the Dune universe for just $18. In addition to this expansive library of fiction, you’ll also receive a copy of Frank Herbert’s biography, Dreamer of Dune, penned by Brian.
This collection includes a total of several trilogies that tie into the larger Dune fiction. For example, The Prelude to Dune trilogy explores the rise of the great houses, while you can learn more about the enigmatic guild navigators or Bene Gesserit Sisterhood in The Great Schools of Dune. The capstone to this bundle, The Road to Dune, is an eclectic compilation of pieces that inspired Frank Herbert’s Dune, missing chapters from Dune and Dune Messiah, as well as a handful of short stories. If you’ve already read through Frank Herbert’s original Dune trilogy and want even more, the Dune Universe Collection is your best option.
As with every Humble Bundle, a portion of each sale benefits a non-profit, in this case, The Global FoodBanking Network. However, you can always change how much of your purchase goes to the publisher, the charity, and to Humble by using the “adjust donation” menu before checking out.
