Frank Herbert managed to write a lot, but he remained in history primarily as the author of the Dune epic. Perhaps the most famous fantasy saga of the twentieth century, a saga that has been translated into dozens of languages and won millions of fans around the world. The most reputable science fiction magazine Locus has recognized Dune, the first novel of the epic about a sandy planet, as the best science fiction novel of all time. In Dune, Frank Herbert managed to accomplish the impossible - to create a kind of "chronicle of the distant future." And in the entire history of world fiction, there has never been a brighter, more visible, more powerful and original picture of the future.
