    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;Frank Herbert's <em>Dune </em>is widely known as the science fiction equivalent of <em>The Lord of the Rings. </em>Now <em>The Road to Dune </em>is a companion work comparable to <em>The Silmarillion, </em>shedding light on and following the remarkable development of the bestselling science fiction novel of all time.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;In this fascinating volume, the world's millions of <em>Dune </em>fans can read--at long last--the unpublished chapters and scenes from <em>Dune </em>and <em>Dune Messiah. The Road to Dune </em>also includes some of the original correspondence between Frank Herbert and famed editor John W. Campbell, Jr., along with other correspondence during Herbert's years-long struggle to get his innovative work published, and the article &quot;They Stopped the Moving Sands,&quot; Herbert's original inspiration for <em>Dune.</em>&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<em>The Road to Dune </em>also features newly discovered papers and manuscripts of Frank Herbert, and <em>Spice Planet,</em> an original novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, based on a detailed outline left by Frank Herbert.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<em>The Road to Dune </em>is a treasure trove of essays, articles, and fiction that every reader of <em>Dune</em> will want to add to their shelf.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
