Resumen del Editor

Frank Herbert’s magnificent Dune saga sprawls across countless planets and tens of millennia. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have written 13 international best-selling novels set in this epic universe. But the wealth of material leaves many side tales or interesting ideas that can be told - hors d’oeuvres to accompany the exotic main course.

Sometimes, a short story is exactly what’s needed.

Tales of Dune collects eight of Herbert and Anderson’s Dune short stories, ranging from the period of the Butlerian Jihad to the time of young Paul Atreides to a story set during the events of the novel Dune to the very end of Frank Herbert’s future history.

These are the missing pieces in the epic of Dune.

Small snippets of a large universe.

It was nice to hear these little between stories and run offs of the other larger volumes. I will look and hope there are others. As in other sci fi, there are fan based stories.

Important to Know

I love Dune the book by Frank and the movie (who doesn’t enjoy Sting) however it’s important to know that what has happened in the prequel is absolute in perfection. I simply believe that the thought of what was possible when Frank wrote his book was simply not enough. His son has done a near perfect job of bringing the realm of possibilities in SI-FI into a story that is and always will be a glimpse into the unknown universe.

The stories must flow.

I was transported back into the world of Dune...loved it and enjoyed the journey. Looking forward to more.

Every story left me wanting more.

I wish each of these stories could have been longer because they all left me wanting more. It was a treat to return to the story world of Dune.

Brian's Not Frank

The scenes and characters Brian Herbert creates does not have the depth of the ones his Dad created. Yes these are short stories which arguably limits that but these don't come alive and pull you in like his Dads did. With that said the storyline is 'cleaner' and easier to follow and that may appeal more to some. I don't feel these stories add much to the universe but as a Dune fan they were nice dips back into the universe sooo not a wasted credit.

Perfect for the Dune Lover

I put off getting this book because of how short it was but finally getting it I’m happy I did. The stories are really insightful and worth listening to.

Excellent extras

These short stories are excellent additions to the dune mythos. Especially helpful is the chronology and the notes before each story to help place it in the proper sequence of events. A must for dune fans.

Little Gems

This provides bite-sized vignettes of the Dune Universe. Each are character-building when main characters appear. Others are expansions of minor characters or just world building. But because they are short stories, the details are rich and the depth of meaning easier to appreciate. As stated in my title, little gems.

Great conclusion to the Dune series!

Once you’ve read the expanded Dune universe books (hopefully in their chronological order) the stories contained here provide the final details you want to have. Better yet, see various internet postings as to where these short stories belong and insert them into your in-depth reading as you go, so they are in full context of your reading enjoyment.
