I've hear about Dune, and know it is a cult novel. But I've never read, even when I read a lot. Have you read it?
I have not, but remember it. It's a science finction novel by author Frank Herbert and was originally published as a series in Analog magazine.
Do you know when it was first published?
The first book was published in 1965. There were five sequels.
Any idea what of was about besides been a science- fiction novel?
It is set in the distant future in a society where noble houses, in control of individual planets, owe allegiance to an Emperor.
Interesting, even whne I'am not a fan sci-fi.   I wonder how many books have been sold since it release.
I'm not sure, but the series inspired a film adaptation, computer and board games and songs, so must be popular.
Yes I know it has a strong following and wonder what is so special about it.
Role-playing is very popular and the first book was cited as the world's best-selling science fiction novel!
