“Don’t be fooled by the fact that he was born on Caladan and spent the first fifteen years of his life there. Arrakis, the planet also known as Dune, remained his world forever."

He wrote a lot more, but readers and critics inevitably compared any of his books with the standard - the cycle about the sand planet. © “If” No. 10, 2005.
