If you like to read about Frank Herbert's world of Dune than "Winds of Dune" might be just the thing for you. It's written by his son Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. It takes place immediately following "Dune Messiah" and before "Children of Dune" is set to begin. (Both by Frank Herbert) The authors have done a wonderful job of helping to fill in gaps in the life of Paul Atreides, also known as Muad 'Dib. We are treated to stories of Paul's youth, aiding in our understanding of how he came to be Emperor of the Known Universe. The duo of writers have also fleshed out the other characters as well helping to create a fuller image of the world of Dune and it's inhabitants. As an avid "Dune" fan, it's nice to have Brian and Kevin scouring Frank's notes so that the humble reader might have more of the dots connected creating a much larger, brighter picture for us.
