Description

Even the author of DUNE-the best-selling science fiction novel of all time-had trouble getting published. At first. Frank Herbert wanted to be a writer, and though today his name is practically synonymous with world-building and epic science fiction, Herbert didn't start out with a particular genre in mind. He wrote mainstream stories, mysteries, thrillers, mens' adventure pieces, humorous slice-of-life tales. And, yes, some science fiction. For the first time, this collection presents 13 completed short stories that Frank Herbert never published in his lifetime. These tales show a great breadth of talent and imagination. Readers can now appreciate the writing of one of the field's masters in a kaleidoscope of new stories. "For the first time this collection publishes many different genre short stories by the acclaimed author of the novel DUNE. It is a rarity that we get to see the many different types of tales the author wrote that until now were never published. Fans of Frank Herbert will love to discover these newfound treasures and will like this author even more than before." - Gary Roen, Midwest Book Review

About the Author

Frank Herbert (1920-1986), winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards and a #1 New York Times bestselling author, was born in Tacoma, Washington, and worked as a reporter and later as an editor for a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first science fiction story was published in 1952, but he achieved fame more than ten years later with the publication of "Dune World" and "The Prophet of Dune" in Analog. The stories were amalgamated in the bestselling novel Dune in 1965.

Kevin J. Anderson is the author of more than 50 bestsellers. He has written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, and the X-Files and, with Brian Herbert, is the co-author of the Dune prequel series.

Brian Herbert is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers and has been nominated for the highest awards in science fiction. In 2003, he published Dreamer of Dune, a moving biography of his father Frank Herbert that was a Hugo Award finalist. Together with co-author Kevin J. Anderson, Brian has written over a dozen bestselling titles set in the Dune universe created by his father, Frank.
