About this listen

Frank Herbert’s magnificent Dune saga sprawls across countless planets and tens of millennia. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have written 13 international best-selling novels set in this epic universe. But the wealth of material leaves many side tales or interesting ideas that can be told - hors d’oeuvres to accompany the exotic main course.

Sometimes, a short story is exactly what’s needed.

Tales of Dune collects eight of Herbert and Anderson’s Dune short stories, ranging from the period of the Butlerian Jihad to the time of young Paul Atreides to a story set during the events of the novel Dune to the very end of Frank Herbert’s future history.

These are the missing pieces in the epic of Dune.

Featured Article: Here’s everything to expect in Dune: Part Two


Sci-fi fans everywhere were over the moon when it was announced that critically acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve would be directing a film adaptation of Dune, the classic science fiction novel by Frank Herbert. It was the third time Herbert's epic has been adapted for the screen, but it's the first time the story was split into two parts—opening up opportunities to further explore the iconic characters and imaginative world Herbert created.

Important to Know

I love Dune the book by Frank and the movie (who doesn’t enjoy Sting) however it’s important to know that what has happened in the prequel is absolute in perfection. I simply believe that the thought of what was possible when Frank wrote his book was simply not enough. His son has done a near perfect job of bringing the realm of possibilities in SI-FI into a story that is and always will be a glimpse into the unknown universe.

Small snippets of a large universe.

It was nice to hear these little between stories and run offs of the other larger volumes. I will look and hope there are others. As in other sci fi, there are fan based stories.

Every story left me wanting more.

I wish each of these stories could have been longer because they all left me wanting more. It was a treat to return to the story world of Dune.

Brian's Not Frank

The scenes and characters Brian Herbert creates does not have the depth of the ones his Dad created. Yes these are short stories which arguably limits that but these don't come alive and pull you in like his Dads did. With that said the storyline is 'cleaner' and easier to follow and that may appeal more to some. I don't feel these stories add much to the universe but as a Dune fan they were nice dips back into the universe sooo not a wasted credit.

Little Gems

This provides bite-sized vignettes of the Dune Universe. Each are character-building when main characters appear. Others are expansions of minor characters or just world building. But because they are short stories, the details are rich and the depth of meaning easier to appreciate. As stated in my title, little gems.

Perfect for the Dune Lover

I put off getting this book because of how short it was but finally getting it I’m happy I did. The stories are really insightful and worth listening to.

Excellent extras

These short stories are excellent additions to the dune mythos. Especially helpful is the chronology and the notes before each story to help place it in the proper sequence of events. A must for dune fans.
