[Dune 01] • Dune, the Road To

Frank Herbert's *Dune* is widely known as the science fiction equivalent of *The Lord of the Rings.* Now *The Road to Dune* is a companion work comparable to *The Silmarillion,* shedding light on and following the remarkable development of the bestselling science fiction novel of all time.

In this fascinating volume, the world's millions of *Dune* fans can read--at long last--the unpublished chapters and scenes from *Dune* and *Dune Messiah. The Road to Dune* also includes some of the original correspondence between Frank Herbert and famed editor John W. Campbell, Jr., along with other correspondence during Herbert's years-long struggle to get his innovative work published, and the article "They Stopped the Moving Sands," Herbert's original inspiration for *Dune.*

*The Road to Dune* also features newly discovered papers and manuscripts of Frank Herbert, and *Spice Planet,* an original novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, based on a detailed outline left by Frank Herbert.

*The Road to Dune* is a treasure trove of essays, articles, and fiction that every reader of *Dune* will want to add to their shelf.
