Synopsis "Frank Herbert: Unpublished Stories"

Even the author of DUNE-the best-selling science fiction novel of all time-had trouble getting published. At first. Frank Herbert wanted to be a writer, and though today his name is practically synonymous with world-building and epic science fiction, Herbert didn't start out with a particular genre in mind. He wrote mainstream stories, mysteries, thrillers, mens' adventure pieces, humorous slice-of-life tales. And, yes, some science fiction. For the first time, this collection presents 13 completed short stories that Frank Herbert never published in his lifetime. These tales show a great breadth of talent and imagination. Readers can now appreciate the writing of one of the field's masters in a kaleidoscope of new stories. "For the first time this collection publishes many different genre short stories by the acclaimed author of the novel DUNE. It is a rarity that we get to see the many different types of tales the author wrote that until now were never published. Fans of Frank Herbert will love to discover these newfound treasures and will like this author even more than before." - Gary Roen, Midwest Book Review

Frank Patrick Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington (1920). Before turning to science fiction, he had various jobs, from photographer and TV cameraman to oyster fisherman. In 1965, he introduced the book series The Dune Chronicles, which was critically acclaimed and popular, describing an imaginary world with its own politics, ecology, and social structure.

The first book of the saga, Dune, was a true literary phenomenon and won the Nebula and Hugo Awards, as well as the International Fantasy Award, which he shared with Lord of the Flies by William Golding. He died on February 11, 1986. The rest of the saga includes: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune.
