Ühe teenitult kuulsaima ulmeromaani autor Frank Herbert on kirjutanud ka teisi raamatuid, kuid teda teatakse eelkõige just „Düüni” ja selle järgede autorina. „Düünis” on kesksel kohal võimuvõitlus tähtedevahelisele impeeriumile kuuluval kõrbeplaneedil Arrakis. See planeet on ainus paik, kust saadakse ainet, mis on vajalik tähtedevahelistel lendudel ja annab selle tarvitajale psüühilised võimed ja pikaealisuse.

In 1965, after being rejected by more than a dozen publishing houses, a book called "Dune" was brought out by the Chilton Book Company. Its respected author, journalist Frank Herbert, had written "Dune" with nothing more in mind than to entertain his readers with the telling of a particularly complex story, one which had occupied his thoughts for more than six years. No one - not Herbert, not Chilton, not the science fiction community at the time - had any idea that "Dune" would be adopted and...
