Other Dune Books and Stories: Removed string of numbers

New page

The '''Dune universe''' (or '''Duniverse''') is the fictional universe (including characters, events and setting) created by [[Frank Herbert]] in his [[Dune novels]]. The Duniverse has been expanded through the [[Dune Encyclopedia]], the [[New Dune novels]] of [[Brian Herbert]] and [[Kevin J. Anderson]], the [[Dune movies]] and the [[Dune games]]. However, there is ongoing debate as to whether these later additions should be treated as [[canon]] alongside Frank Herbert's original novels.
==Dune novels==
===The Original Novels===

''Main Article: [[Dune]]''

''Main Article: [[Dune Messiah]]''

''Main Article: [[Children of Dune]]''

''Main Article: [[God Emperor of Dune]]''

Separate from these novels Frank Herbert also published a book of poetry called [[Songs of Muad'Dib]] and a story called The Road to Arrakeen in the collection [[Eye]].

===The Dune Encyclopedia===

''Main article: [[Dune Encyclopedia]]''

Edited by Dr. Willis E. McNelly, a long time friend of Frank Herberts, this collection of articles looks to explain and expand many aspects of the Duniverse. However, it intentionally contains incorrect information (as it is supposedly part of the propaganda that is the Rakis Horde) and was completed before the last three Dune novels, so many parts of it contradict the actual books. While officially it is not "[[canon]]" many fans take it to be so, preferring it over the recent prequel novels by [[Brian Herbert]] and [[Kevin J. Anderson]].

The first book of the Houses trilogy, it tells the life of a young [[Leto Atreides]] and how he becomes the new [[Dukes|Duke]] of [[House Atreides]].

==== House Harkonnen ====

''Main article: [[Dune: House Harkonnen]]''
