Frank Herbert's son Brian Herbert and author Kevin J. Anderson have begun adding to the Dune universe, using notes left behind by Frank Herbert on both the history of the Dune universe before the events within Dune, as well as the novel he had planned to follow Chapterhouse Dune. They have written two prequel series - Prelude to Dune and Legends of Dune, and have now released two post-Chapterhouse novels - Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune, based on the Dune 7 outline Frank Herbert left behind at the time of his death.
