Praise for The Road to Dune: New stories, unpublished extracts and the publication history of the Dune novels

Unique among SF novels . . . I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings. - Arthur C. Clarke on DUNE

'Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision.' Dean Koontz
-
'Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied.' The Times

'Herbert and Anderson have met the challenge admirably. Within a web of relationships in which no act has simple of predictable consequences, they lay the foundation of the Dune saga . . . A terrific read in its own right . . . Will inspire readers to turn, or return, to its great predecessor.' Publishers Weekly
