BEST BRIAN HERBERT BOOKS

With sequels set before the critically acclaimed Dune, and prequels that have become cult classics, Brian Herbert has written some very good novels. However the most highly regarded of his works are:

Dreamer of Dune:: The Biography of Frank Herbert: In a complex and amazing epic, Frank Herbert combined ecology, human evolution, religion, and politics to capture and enthrall generations readers. In the moving novel that is both loving and honest, Brian Herbert tells the life story of his father. He brings to light the many important happenings in the life of Frank Herbert that are sure to be part and parcel of speculative fiction’s greatest ever narratives. Starting out in Tacoma Washington , going to school at the University of Washington, Seattle, joining the Navy, trying his hand at being a cameraman for a local TV station, his life as a radio commentator, reporter and editor of a newspaper on the West coast, to several years of poverty while trying to establish himself as a professional writer. It was a bumpy ride for Frank Herbert and he worked hard and long before he found success with his 1965 classic, Dune. Brian tells of these years with such intensity and honesty that brings all aspects of the older Herbert’s often troubled though brilliant genius to light. It provides Brian Herbert’s personal perspectives on his father, who is arguably one of the most creative and enigmatic talents of the times.

Mentats of Dune: in the fifth novel of the Dune Universe, the AI have been defeated though humanity is not yet out of the woods. The Mentat School is an institution that Gilbertus Albans has set up to teach humans to learn how to think like the machines. But Albans has to walk a thin line between compromise and conviction, if he is to survive his struggle with the Butlerian fanatics whose leader is the insane Manford Torondo. But he gets help from Josef Venport, who hates the Butlerians just as much as he does. A company known as VenHold Spacing Fleet has the monopoly on all commerce since they have the advantage of having superior mutated navigators. They maintain their hold on the trade by imposing ruthless embargoes on any planet that is party to Torondo’s anti-technology pact with a view to starving them into submission. The fanatics are just one of those opponents that do not give in that easily. With the Navigators and the Mentats striving to improve the lives of humanity, the Butlerian’s fanaticism grows in leaps and bounds. The factions will soon have to fight it out to decide if humanity’s future lies with technology, or with the dark ages devoid of civilization.

Navigators of Dune: in the final title in the explosive Schools of Dune trilogy, we go back 10, 000 years before the time of Frank Herbert’s Dune. It tells the story of how the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood was established including the Navigators (the Spacing Guild), the human computer Mentats, the breeding program, and the all-important faceoff between fanaticism and civilization. These are crucial events for humanity, which will have important consequences affecting the story of Dune, thousands of years in the future.
