Editor’s note Prolific American writer of tie-in and original science fiction, best known here for the Dune prequels he writes with Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert’s son, starting from Frank’s notes. Prelude to Dune follows the Atreides, Harkonnen and Corrino houses a generation before the original; Legends of Dune goes back ten thousand years to the Butlerian Jihad, humanity’s war against thinking machines. Brisk and readable, but plainer than Frank Herbert, and ratings are modest. He also wrote Star Wars novels, including the Jedi Academy trilogy.
