Anderson to co-author a trilogy of Dune prequels. More than a decade after Herbert's death, his son, Brian, teamed up with science fiction writer Kevin J. The book's massive success inspired Herbert to write a number of sequels, which brought the total number of novels in the series up to six when he died in 1986.

It's also considered one of the best books of all time, as well as a seminal work in the sci-fi genre. Published in 1965 by an automotive manuals publisher, after twenty (!) mainstream publishers rejected the story, Dune is the world's best-selling science fiction novel of all time. And whether you've dabbled in Dune lore before or you're completely new to the wild world of Arrakis, there’s something for everyone in this Titanic-sized series about power, violence, and fate. Congratulations! You've got an exciting literary journey ahead. The long answer: I write my books as if they are taking place in the present at the time that I am writing them.So you're fired up about Dune's recent big screen adaptation, and while you're waiting for Part Two to arrive in theaters, you're wanting to dive into the world of Frank Herbert's beloved science fiction novels. WHAT YEARS DO YOUR BOOKS TAKE PLACE IN? The short answer: They don’t take place in any specific year. Hopefully it’s fairly obvious that the best way to read Heartstopper is in the order of volumes (so Volume One first, then Volume Two, then Volume Three, etc…) Chronologically, Heartstopper starts a year before Solitaire starts. You do not need to read them both, but if you’d like to read them both, it doesn’t matter which one you read first. The Heartstopper series and Solitaire feature some of the same characters, and operate within the same universe/timeline, but they are very different stories – Heartstopper is a happy, romantic, uplifting graphic novel series that focuses on Nick and Charlie, while Solitaire is a dark story about mental illness narrated by Charlie’s sister, Tori, and was written long before Heartstopper. This Winter and Nick and Charlie are spin-off novellas from Solitaire and Heartstopper, but can still be read and enjoyed even if you haven’t read those books. Start with the one that interests you the most from the blurb! Solitaire, Radio Silence, I Was Born for This, and Loveless are all standalone novels about different characters.
