Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert teamed to write more than dozen novels that expanded on the Dune universe.
Set in the distant future, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides whose family accepts control of the desert planet Arrakis.
Herbert himself wrote five literary Dune sequels and, beginning in 1999, new Dune novels began being published.
Herbert’s novels were later adapted for television with Syfy adapting both the first and third books (Dune and Children of Dune) as television miniseries.
