Most links are to hardcover editions available on Amazon. All other items written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. The six novels and few additional Dune stories by Frank Herbert himself are so noted. Short stories are found in quotation marks. Sometimes there are different descriptions available for the short stories, and it is difficult to determine whether a particular story should be viewed as an inquel or midquel, so those designations on short stories are still tentative until I can get the entire Duniverse read in order. So, this reader’s guide includes prequels and sequels to Frank Herbert’s original six-book series, as well as “inquels” (additional stories and deleted scenes that coincide with the timeline of an existing novel) and “midquels” (additional stories and novels that bridge the timelines found in two novels). I started this reader’s guide with the chronology and various trilogy/series titles found on the official Dune novels website and then added other specific details about promotional editions, other versions, and various sources into the chronology. But I decided to share it, and posted an earlier edition of this visual bibliography in 2011 on my futuristguy blog, and have been working at completing it since then. I created this list initially as a reader’s guide for when I complete a book project I’m writing - as reading the entire Dune saga is my motivational reward. The following list puts all books and short stories in the universe of Dune into chronological order, as best as possible. Since 2003, I have been collecting the Dune materials shown here and on other pages on this fansite. The following is mostly a repeat of the section, “Reader’s Chronological Guide to the Worlds of Frank Herbert’s Dune,” on the Books: Dune Saga Reader’s Guide page.

After Herbert's breakout success with Dune, he continued his life as a professional author, to great critical acclaim. Translated into dozens of languages and with 20 million copies sold around the world, the Dune series has touched countless lives. The story was so loved that the series was continued even after Frank Herbert's death. The Dune Trilogy helped to define the modern science fiction genre and remains a masterwork you won’t want to pause, more than 50 years after the first book was published. With several important factions involved in the push and pull for power, Dune creates a vibrant political landscape in an original world. Their passionate delivery takes you through a series that touches on environmentalism, despotism, mythology, religion, politics, technology, and imperialism with timely relevance. Listen to a cast of talented narrators, including Scott Brick, Katherine Kellgren, and Simon Vance, bring the world of Dune to life. (Spoiler alert: Paul and Baron Harkonnen aren't the only ones with interests on Arrakis.) Follow along as Paul navigates an intricate and dangerous political web.

Melange not only protects against disease, prolongs life, and fuels supernatural powers - it also makes space travel possible. Home to the Fremen and inhabited by giant sandworms, Arrakis is the universe’s only source of melange, a mind-altering spice and the world’s most valuable substance. The noble House Atreides has gained control over the planet, which proved to be a dangerous undertaking. In the distant future on the desert planet of Arrakis, young Paul Atreides struggles to defeat Baron Harkonnen, continuing a generations-long feud between the families. One of the world’s most important sci-fi works, the Dune saga is an epic tale of intrigue, adventure, and mysticism.
