I just *KNEW* that someone would ask for Frank Herbert eventually.  Of
course, he's most famous for "Dune".  The consensus opinion is that the
series went into a serious decline after the first book.  Well, I started
reading Frank Herbert when I picked up "Dune Messiah".  I quickly finished
it, said that was good, let's look for some more, proceeded to read
"Children of Dune" and then "Dune", and then read the entire series in the
correct order.   Overall, I'd rate "Dune Messiah" (the first one I read
and enjoyed) as the weakest of the three.  Not because it's a bad book,
just that it pales in comparison with "Dune".  And aside from "Dune", the
Frank Herbert book I'd recommend would be his first novel: "Under
Pressure", a fine psychological novel set in a submarine.
