I was wondering, is it necessary to read the rest of the series or not.

But why would you want to do that Youll miss most of the fun, as some of the subsequent books are arguably better (especially God Emperor of Dune which, in my opinion, is probably the best and deepest sci-fi work of all time by far).

Moreover the saga of Dune by no means ends with that 1 book, as only in the second volume there are huge plot twists and the story develops drastically taking a whole new turn (quite unexpected too).

Long answer: The Dune saga practically consists of two parts.

The first six books were written by Frank Herbert in the period between 1965 and 1985.

These are:: 1) Dune (1965) 2) Dune Messiah (1969) 3) Children of Dune (1976) 4) God Emperor of Dune (1981) (like I said, arguably the best book of its genre) 5) Heretics of Dune (1984) 6) Chapterhouse: Dune (1985) One may read them in this exact order, as theyre not only sorted by publishing date but its also how the epic unfolds in chronological order.

Unfortunately Frank left his work unfinished and the story incomplete, because he passed away before he had the chance to finish the seventh book.

But his legacy lived on and it was his son Brian Herbert who resumed the Dune series, in collaboration with Kevin Anderson (widely known for contributing to the Star Wars universe by writing lots of original stories, especially The Jedi Academy Trilogy).

Not only that but just after theyd started writing the first few books of the modern Dune era, they discovered long lost and forgotten material by late Frank, sealed for 15 odd years in a bank locker.

It turned out these notes were actually rough guidelines about the legendary Dune 7, the missing part of the saga, the one which would complete the series, which no one had expected to see.

Brian and Kevin have released 12 books so far (but we should be expecting more to come), which Ill cite below.

They are separated by thematic context, which is required as most have been written in trilogy form and need to be read in this particular order: --- Prelude to Dune series (its about a period beginning about 35 years before the events of the original Dune and ending about 15 years before them): 1.

House Corrino (2001) --- Legends of Dune series (refers to the old galaxy-wide war between humankind and machines, about 10 thousand years before Dune, when the foundations of the saga were actually built): 4.

The Battle of Corrin (2004) - Dune 7 (as a matter of fact its an untitled series but its practically Dune 7, split in two parts and it obviously resumes the story from where Frank Herbert left it in distant 1985): 7.

Sandworms of Dune (2007) --- Heroes of Dune series (its about a period starting around 15 years before Dune until its very beginning): 9.

The Winds of Dune (2009) --- Great Schools of Dune series (OK, Ill have to admit I havent read these two yet, so I havent got the slightest idea what theyre about Hopefully Ill find out soon enough) 11.

Mentats of Dune (2014) The emerging question is in which order does one have to read all these books (the usual and everlasting dilemma of non-linearmulti-volume series such as the Lord of the RingsHobbitSilmarillion, Enders Saga etc).

Do we have to follow the order in which they were writtenpublished or the chronological order in which the story develops Do we need to first read Dune (1965) or perhaps go with the Butlerian Jihad (2002) which, after all, takes place 10 thousand years earlier My suggestion is to read them exactly in the order in which they were presented above.

I think itd be a sin (really) if your first impression about Dune were from the books of Brian Herbert and not from Franks.
