The Dune prequel series is a sequence of novel trilogies written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Set in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert, the novels take place in various time periods before and in between Herbert's original six novels, which began with 1965's Dune. In 1997, Bantam Books made a $3 million deal with the authors for three Dune prequel novels, partially based upon notes left behind by Frank Herbert, that would come to be known as the Prelude to Dune trilogy.[1] Starting with 1999's Dune: House Atreides, the duo have published 15 Dune prequel novels to date.
Dune itself is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history,[2][3] and won the 1966 Hugo Award[4] and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel.[5] Herbert wrote five sequels before he died in 1986.[6]
Brian Herbert and Anderson have also published Hunters of Dune (2006) and Sandworms of Dune (2007), sequels to Frank Herbert's final novel Chapterhouse: Dune (1985) which complete the chronological progression of his original series and wrap up storylines that began with his Heretics of Dune (1984).[7]
