Editing Dune (section)

=== The others ===
* '''''Hunters of Dune''''' and '''''Sandworms of Dune''''' - Based on Frank Herbert's rough draft for the unfinished ''Dune 7'', these two works function as a direct sequel to ''Chapterhouse: Dune''. If you really want the series to have an ending... this is what you get. Requires reading ''Legends of Dune''. Though debatable if the new antagonist the authors' invention.
* '''''Prelude to Dune''''': A prequel series set right before the events of the first novel when all the adults from that book were the age that buys young adult novels. Not that bad, but all the villains are evil mustache-twirling sadists and all the heroes are good people.
* '''''Legends of Dune''''': Prequel series that takes us back to the early days of the Imperium and shows the Butlerian Jihad not as a conflict where religious Luddites win, but as a war where wargame-loving hacker teens take over mankind's servant robots and cause a robot war that overthrows the Old Empire on Earth and enslaves humanity. The League of Nobles (note that unlike the many pages of justification Frank produced for the original Imperium, feudalism just seems to naturally happen at this point in human history) rallies around manufactured religious zealotry to eventually win at great cost (like ''losing 1% of our fleet every jump'' cost).
* '''''Heroes of Dune''''': A series of interquels about this and that.
* '''''Great Schools of Dune''''': Prequel series set after ''Legends of Dune'', focusing on the creation of the Bene Gesserit, Mentats, Suk School, and the Spacing Guild in the wake of the Butlerian Jihad. 
* '''''Caladan Trilogy''''': Three more prequels, focusing on Duke Leto, Lady Jessica, and Paul in the run-up to ''Dune''.
