Here is the much requested list of Dune novels and short stories in Chronological Order

Just my interest, I don’t expect anybody else to be interested. I just want to use some sats up.

have you read these in this order? This universe goes so deep, it's astounding

Fascinating world! I've read the Dune book when I was 8 years old kid. I don't even know how was published back then, in communist regime. I've read the main 3 books: Dune, The mesiah of Dune, Children of Dune.

I didn't know about this long list, But I supposed are some kind of sequels and short novels, not full books.

If you go to the website, you can see which ones were done by who. Frank Herbert wrote more, that, in my opinion, are far better than the Herber&Anderson books. However, Herber&Anderson wrote their books from notes and outliines they found from Frank Herbert’s safe deposit box. Overall the whole series, at least the ones I have read, is excellent and interesting reading.

I really liked the later Frank Herbert books as well. The ones with the Honored Matres.

Yes, they were interesting, too. I thin it was the density of the plot and characters as well as the setting that made the Frank Herbert books the best of the series. Herber&Anderson just didn’t have the flare for mixing all the element as well as Frank. Although, they did keep the sectioning of the themes at the same level as Frank did. Humm …. It has been long enough since I read them—are the Honored Matres Frank’s or Herbert&Anderson’s. Having a tough time remembering, I should probably look at the books, themselves.

@Undisciplined will be greatly interested. He has published his Dune book review here

I had no idea there were 22 prequels. I've read all of Frank Hebert's Dune books, which seemed like a lot of Dune, but apparently it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Yep, they found Frank Herbert’s outlines and wrote to those to get the results they got. They are pretty interesting, especially the ones from 10,000 years before.

No, I haven’t made it through the whole series. I do not have some of the newer ones. As soon as I get the cash, I will go to Uncle Hugo’s Science Fiction Bookstore and purchase the all. Then the reading pleasure begins.

I’ve read the first three, but haven’t read the others yet

Which first three? The first three on the list or the first three published? The first three by Frank Herbert were masterpieces! He did about 4 or 5 more then his son and Anderson took over (after he died).

The first three published.

Yep, they were, by far, the best! I must have read them at lest 15 times, by now. The latest being this summer. I was rediscovering the joys of reading books, not screens. Oddly enough, I read the first ones when I was in the Mohave desert.

I read Silo a few years ago and enjoyed that also

5 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic OP 19 Oct

I didn’t read Silo, but I saw it on Amazon(?). I liked it and am looking forward to the second season, but I can’t see how they will do it, other than doing another silo.

A lot of people suspect that “Dune Messiah” was written just off of a half-fleshedout outline. Considering the length and breadth of his other “Dune” series novels, “Dune Messiah” was very short and blunt.
