Dune by Frank Herbert
Obviously you’re aware of this one. Probably caught the 2021 Denis Villeneuve movie—and maybe even the 2000 miniseries, or the 1984 film David Lynch would like to forget? Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, which covers the second half of Herbert’s sci-fi tale, arrives November 3, so you have several months to play catch-up. If the 1965 novel hooks you, the world created by Herbert (who died in 1986) has been further fleshed out beyond the sequels he wrote, with prequels and even more sequels from writing duo Brian Herbert (Frank’s son) and Kevin J. Anderson.
