Best Dune Series Books

Dune: This is a classical science fiction novel that has both miniseries and classical adaptations. In the distant future, an intergalactic feudal Empire rules the human race. In this instalment, the author, Frank Herbert introduces the readers to Duke Leto, who has just taken control over Arrakis. Arrakis is a desert planet that is popularly known as Dune. The planet Arrakis is the only source of a substance widely known as Spice. The author slowly reveals the importance of Spice as the story progresses.

Previously, Dune used to be the stronghold and also the major source of wealth for one Baron Vladimir, Duke’s sworn enemy. With that said, Dune deals with a lot of politics, intrigues, secret societies, as well as survival on a planet that has never seen a drop of rain and a planet where wealth is counted by the amount of water that one owns.

Dune is one of the best examples of a protagonist’s journey in fiction. A
majority of authors need several books to tell an larger-than-life coming of age narrative.

However, author Frank Herbert has achieved this in only one novel, while in the process creating an interesting and unique setting. Part of Frank Herbert’s genius was his ability to infer so much about the world that he had created than what he showed.

Dune Messiah: Twelve years have passed ever since the events of the first installment. Paul has now been appointed as the leader of the thousands of the planets, while the prophecy that had been made is now underway. An exceedingly treacherous plan to overthrow Paul is now underway, something that he has already overseen.

However, certain people and events are still uncertain. The Jihad, which had been predicted in the first installment, has now been unleashed on the Imperial Galaxy. The war resulted in the death of more than 6 billion people. Paul, on the other hand, has risen to a near-God status. Paul rules through a theocracy, which in turn reveres him as a quasi-god. Paul’s mother, on the other hand, is likened to the Virgin Mary, while his sister is likened as a demonic force of nature. As this happens, the ecological forces of nature have just begun. With that said, the Dune Messiah is another excellent read, which will keep any lover of the series fully entertained.

The author, Frank Herbert has done an excellent job of ensuring the characters are developed fully. Some of the characters are discussed through the thoughts of the other characters and their thoughts as well. Furthermore, some of the characters who were introduced in the previous installment make a comeback in this highly entertaining series.
