The author went on to write five more novels in the series: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune, in addition to film adaptations.

Now, in honor of the book's 50th anniversary, The Folio Society released a brand new edition of the sci-fi classic.
