The fictional Dune universe is the political, scientific, and social setting of author Frank Herbert's six-book Dune series of science fantasy novels. The highly popular first book, 1965's Dune, was adapted into a film in 1984 and a televised miniseries in 2000; in 2003, its first two sequels appeared as a miniseries as well. The Dune universe has inspired a series of video games, including Dune II, the first modern real-time strategy game.
This lens looks at each segment of the series, with links to more in depth material elsewhere on the web.
The DUNE Trilogy
Set in a far future universe, these books incorporate various political and religious themes for Earth's cultures, making the human element more sympathetic and the story more "believable".
Against a backdrop of interstellar politics and religious maneuvering,the novels follow the life of a young man, Paul Atreides, who is destined to be a great leader, and his heirs.
The first trilogy spawned a second, which includes the titles God Emperor of Dune (1981), Heretics of Dune (1984), and Chapterhouse Dune (1985), which continue to follow the Atreides family, their allies, and their rivals.
