Series
Dune Sequels
Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson · 2 novels · 1 short story · 2006–2007
Working from notes Frank Herbert left behind before his death, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson wrote Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune to finally resolve the cliffhanger ending of Chapterhouse: Dune, the story Frank Herbert had planned to call 'Dune 7.' The two novels build toward revealing the true nature of the long-hinted 'great enemy' threatening humanity, bringing the saga's central conflict between humanity and its own creations to a close. They're presented as the direct continuation and conclusion of Frank Herbert's original six-book series.
