Herbert is known for his collaborations with author
Kevin J. Anderson, with whom he has written multiple prequels (and some sequels) to his father's landmark 1965 science fiction novel,
Dune, all of which have made
The New York Times Best Seller list. The duo began with the prequel
trilogies Prelude to Dune (1999–2001) and
Legends of Dune (2002–2004). Herbert and Anderson next published
Hunters of Dune (2006) and
Sandworms of Dune (2007), two sequels to
Frank Herbert's original
Dune series, which was left incomplete at the end of Frank's sixth
Dune novel,
Chapterhouse: Dune. These novels are based on an outline and notes left behind by Frank Herbert after his 1986 death for what he referred to as
Dune 7, his own planned seventh novel in the series. In 2008, Herbert and Anderson began publishing
Heroes of Dune (2008–2023), a series of four novels which take place between the first five novels of Frank Herbert's six original
Dune series, but only two were published initially. The others were set aside, first for the
Great Schools of Dune trilogy (2012–2016), and later for the
Caladan trilogy (2020–2022). However, in 2023, Herbert resumed the
Heroes of Dune series by publishing
Princess of Dune (2023). Herbert and Anderson have also written numerous
Dune short stories (2001–2017). ==Works==
