Children of DUNE by Frank Herbert - Paperback USA Version

Frank Herbert is the bestselling author of the Dune saga. He was born in Tacoma, Washington, and educated at the University of Washington, Seattle. He worked a wide variety of jobs—including TV cameraman, radio commentator, oyster diver, jungle survival instructor, lay analyst, creative writing teacher, reporter and editor of several West Coast newspapers—before becoming a full-time writer.

In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with “Looking for Something?” in Startling Stories. But his emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of Dune. Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune followed, completing the saga that the Chicago Tribune would call “one of the monuments of modern science fiction.” Herbert is also the author of some twenty other books, including The White Plague, The Dosadi Experiment, and Destination: Void. He died in 1986.

Page Count Notice:

Publishers may employ differing internal methodologies for determining page count. Some base their calculations on numbered pages only, while others include unnumbered pages, blank pages, section dividers, production materials, or other non-numbered content that does not appear in the final pagination visible to the reader.

Accordingly, the publisher’s stated page count may differ—potentially to a significant degree—from the physical numbered pages present in the delivered product.

Variations in pagination, layout, appearance, or other physical attributes are inherent to the publishing and printing process and do not constitute a defect, error, or misdescription on the part of the retailer.

If precise pagination or specific physical characteristics are material to your purchase decision, you are advised to contact us prior to placing an order so that we may assist in verifying details where feasible.
