![]() Herbert's writing style is fantastically real - whether he is writing Indiana Jones or Orwell dystopia, he drags you into the world he creates. If it says anything at all, I had bought Dune before I even finished High-Opp. ![]() I have never read Dune or any of his published works before. This was my introduction to Frank Herbert. This volume collects four of those complete, never-before-published novels written before Dune: High-Opp, a dystopian science fiction novel Angels’ Fall, a jungle survival adventure A Game of Authors, a Cold War thriller and A Thorn in the Bush, a mainstream novel based on some of Herbert’s experiences in Mexico. He persevered until finally, seven years later, he wrote the most unpublishable novel of all, Dune-which, once it finally found a home with an obscure publisher, finally made Frank Herbert a household name synonymous with science fiction. Even at the beginning of his writing career, Frank Herbert wrote whatever inspired him, irrespective of genre, market, or audience tastes.Īfter the success of his first novel The Dragon in the Sea (1955), Herbert wrote numerous novels and short stories that failed to find a market. But he was an exceptionally diverse author who wrote in numerous genres. Frank Herbert will forever be known as the “author of Dune,” the science fiction masterpiece that made his career and made his name. ![]()
