This is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad’Dib.

Dune - The first and only entry point that makes sense.

It’s not a chronological one, because I think that the best way to start is with the first book published. So, here is a possible book order for the Dune series. That’s the one-million-dollar question, what is the Dune Reading Order? For some, there’s nothing good after the original Dune, but if you are here, you probably want more than that. It was also adapted as a TV miniseries (two in facts) by the American Sci-Fi Channel in 2000. Politics, religion, ecology, and technology collide when forces of the empire plot against each other in order to seize control of Arrakis.ĭune was adapted as a movie in 1984 by David Lynch, and in 2021 by Denis Villeneuve. The story began with young Paul Atreides whose family accepts the stewardship of the planet Arrakis where you can find the only source of the “spice” melange. Written by Frank Herbert and published in 1965, Dune is a science-fiction epic set in a distant future where the one who controls the “spice” controls the universe - it’s the over-simplistic way to introduce the story.ĭune takes us to a feudal interstellar society in which noble houses controlling individual planets had pledged allegiance to the Padishah Emperor. So, I tried to compile what I found and this is the result. Wrong, things get more complicated the further you go in the series. Two books later, it was not as good as it was at the beginning, so I took a break.Īfter a long while, I thought I might pick up where I left off, thinking it would be easy. Then, I didn’t want it to stop, so I keep on reading. Like a lot of people, I read Dune and I thought it was awesome.
