The following sets of pages are dedicated to a series of books written by Frank Herbert. These books are Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. In 1984, Director David Lynch directed a big budget film adaptation of these novels. Though that film was a box office bomb, it too has a wide cult following. The film information provided here also covers the span of several years spent trying to produce the film. This includes works of Alexandro Jodorowsky and H.R. Giger. Several games have been created in recognition of Dune's popularity, including the popular Dune II by Westwood (recently updated as Dune 2000).
Quote of the Day (God Emperor of Dune):
Oh the landscapes I have seen! And the people! The far wanderings of the Fremen and all the rest of it. Even back through the myths of Terra. Oh, the lessons in astronomy and intrigue, the migrations, the dishelved flights, the leg-aching and lung-aching runs through so many nights on all those cosmic specks where we have defended our transient possession. I tell you we are a marvel and my memories leave no doubt of this.
