One bumper omnibus containing "Dune", "Dune Messiah" and "Children Of Dune". There has been a resurgence of interest in Frank Herbert since his son started writing "Dune" novels.

Frank Herbert (1920-86) was born in Tacoma, Washington and worked as a reporter and later editor of a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first sf story was published in 1952 but he achieved fame more than ten years later with the publication in Analog of ¿Dune World¿ and ¿The Prophet of Dune¿, amalgamated into the Hugo and Nebula-winning novel DUNE in 1965.
