JonTheTerrible: The pace of these books are similar as well as the topics they cover: society and government. The science plays only a small role in both books but is present enough to successfully build the worlds in which the characters inhabit.
corporate_clone: It is difficult not to compare Dune and Hyperion, even though both series have major differences in terms of tone, style and philosophy. Those are two long, epic, elaborate and very ambitious sci-fi masterpieces where religion plays a key role. I would highly recommend the fans of one to check out the other.… (plus d'informations)
corporate_clone: Both books are a subtle blend of science fiction and fantasy while being truly epic stories. Although Dune remains a superior literary achievement in my view, Silverberg's Majipoor series is a credible alternative.
themulhern: Young man with special powers and noble blood overthrows the established order through cunning and charisma. In the process he changes his people and then the rot sets in.
sandstone78: Similar tropes in the form of human computers and a native species capable of granting youth, and the powerful woman trying to breed a special child- The Snow Queen seems on one level a response to Dune, taking many of the same elements and twisting them around, while going in quite different directions in other ways.… (plus d'informations)
d_perlo: So you have read Frank Herbert's Dune series and want more? Thy The Lazarus Effect, The Jesus Incident, and The Ascension Factor, also by Frank Herbert. This is his take on a water world.
themulhern: Illegitimate offspring of an extraordinary woman with occult powers himself comes to power and changes the world of all who come into contact with him.
This was a slog, and if it hadn't been lent to me, I definitely would not have made it.
But after the first 200 pages I actually quite enjoyed it. Once I got my bearings with who was who and how they were related (of course, I realised after finishing it that the appendices would have helped... sigh.) This was an excellent world and I enjoyed all of the environmental commentary immensely. ( )
While it took me a while to fully get into the story, once I did I was thrown into a beautiful world of politics, religion, and intrigue. This book is chock full of story building, following a young Duke as he deals with a betrayal that causes his father's murder, and the knowledge that he might be the child of a prophecy that will turn a desert planet into an oasis. A beautifully rich cast of characters and an amazing writing style really ties this story all together. A true sci-fi masterpiece. ( )
Hacker News: In my opinion: Yes! Here's the advice I give to people about the entire Dune series: Read Dune. If you don't like it, stop. Read Dune Messiah. If you don't like it, stop. Read Children of Dune. If you liked Messiah you'll probably like this as well. Read God Emperor of Dune. This one stands alone. Lots of people hate it. Whether you like it or not, don't stop. Read Heretics of Dune. If you don't like it, stop. Read Chapterhouse: Dune. Weep that it's over. In my experience, people who like Dune generally will enjoy at least through Children of Dune. Anyone who enjoys God Emperor of Dune is insane (maybe why it might be my favorite). Regarding the other Dune books, read them out of curiosity if you like, but they're not really Dune books despite being in that universe. I've read about seven of them out of optimism and hope but didn't enjoy them at all. Even Sandworms of Dune which is ostensibly based on Frank Herbert's notes for Dune 7 wasn't enjoyable to me, although it was least bad.
Honestly, I'm seriously underwhelmed by this book. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. Most of the time I was either lost by the convoluted writing or frustrated at constantly having to check the glossary for all the terms. Some unnecessary things were described at length while other, more important things that would have actually added to the story were ignored almost completely. As a fantasy (and this is a fantasy set in space, not science fiction) it is very much flawed, but I do get why some people love it. ( )
Why is Blanch’s influence on Dune worth recognizing? Celebrating Blanch is not a means to discredit Herbert, whose imaginative novel transcends the sum of its influences. But Dune remains massively popular while The Sabres of Paradise languishes in relative obscurity, and renewed public interest in Blanch’s forgotten history would be a welcome development.
Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy was famously inspired by Edward Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. J. R. R. Tolkien’s background in medieval languages helped shape the mythology of Middle Earth. Frank Herbert’s Dune is no different, and rediscovering one of the book’s most significant influences is a rewarding experience.

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Muad'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Muad'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place. from "Manual of Muad'dib" by the Princess Irulan
Dédicace
Premiers mots
Durant la semaine qui précéda le départ pour Arrakis, alors que la frénésie des ultimes préparatifs avait atteint un degré presque insupportable, une vieille femme vint rendre visite à la mère du garçon, Paul.
Citations
Je ne connaîtrai pas la peur, car la peur tue l’esprit. La peur est la petite mort qui conduit à l’oblitération totale. J’affronterai ma peur. Je lui permettrai de passer sur moi, au travers de moi. Et lorsqu’elle sera passée, je tournerai mon œil intérieur sur son chemin. Et là où elle sera passée, il n’y aura plus rien. Rien que moi.
