Heroes of Dune

Heroes of Dune

"Heroes of Dune" is a planned interquel tetralogy of novels that will take place in Frank Herbert's "Dune" universe, to be written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. The first book, "Paul of Dune", was released in September 2008.

According to Brian Herbert and Anderson, half of the story takes place between "Dune" and "Dune Messiah" as Paul’s Jihad rages, Shaddam seeks to regain his throne and Princess Irulan accepts the "task of building the legend of Muad'Dib." She in turn chronicles Paul's early years (between "" and "Dune"), which feature "his friendship with Duncan and Gurney and Duke Leto's War of Assassins against Grumman." [ Kevin J. Anderson, [http://arrakis.ru/ha_int_mf.shtml interview] in Russian magazine "Mir Fantastiki", 2004 ( [http://www.mirf.ru/Articles/print450.html published Russian version] ) "Half of the story is set in the Jihad between "Dune" and "Dune Messiah", when Princess Irulan decides to become Paul’s official biographer, and she will tell the other half of the story, chronicling Paul’s younger years (between "" and "Dune")."] [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20070703213605/http://www.digitalwebbing.com/interviews/042104_anderson.html Kevin J. Anderson Interview ~ DigitalWebbing.com] (2004) Internet Archive, 3 July 2007. " [The series] fills the gap between "House Corrino" and "Dune": in other words, the younger years of Paul Atreides and his friendships with Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck interwoven with the story of Paul's Jihad, which fits between "Dune" and "Dune Messiah" ] [Adams, John Joseph. [http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=5&id=37444 "New "Dune" Books Resume Story" - SciFi.com] 9 August 2006. "' [The series will] tell the story of Paul's younger years, his friendship with Duncan and Gurney and Duke Leto's War of Assassins against Grumman,' Anderson said. 'And it will also fill in the story between "Dune" and "Dune Messiah", Paul's great Jihad, Princess Irulan's task of building the legend of Muad'Dib, Shaddam's bid for a return to power...'"]
