Dune, 40th Anniversary Edition (Dune Chronicles, Book 1)
Frank Herbert
Ace Trade, 2005
One of my first loves!
Seasoned readers might sympathise about this being my 2nd Sci-Fi experience - Lord of the Rings was the first. Tough acts to follow, and 35 years later I'm still trying.... Dune is breath-taking for the sheer feat of imagination. The combination of medievalism and ...

The Dragon in the Sea
Frank Herbert
Tor Books, 2008
Claustrophobia
Dragon in the Sea is quite a departure from Dune. It's more akin to The Santaroga Barrier (my favorite Herbert book) in Herbert starts with a few ordinary events and then turns them into psychological dramas. For this book, he goes one step further and leaves off the ...

Tor Science Fiction, 2006
Good Summer Read
I must admit that I'm not even CLOSE to finishing this fine book but what I have read of it I do like. Brian has taken up the mantle of his famous father and been able to cope with the inevitable comparisons between the two styles of writing. Both are fine authors in ...

The White Plague
Frank Herbert
Tor Books, 2007
Riveting
I bought this book new back in the early 80's and just saw it is now back in print -- good news. I've been reading science fiction for nearly 50 years and this is still one of my favorites. It doesn't rely on gratuitous sex and violence to achieve a perfectly ...

Do yourself a huge favor, and read this book without reading any of the spoilers first. This novel is one of the greatest sci-fi mystery stories of all time, and not one of the dozen people to whom I have lent my dog-eared copy has ever guessed the ending or been ...

Introduction to Radiological Physics and Radiation Dosimetry
Frank Herbert Attix
Wiley-Interscience, 1986
V Good Text
There is a dearth of modern texts that treat this realm with due respect anymore-or possibly it is that other texts are aimed at larger -and so less rogorous-markets. Thank heavens someone is still publishing books like this. Attix has done a commendable job here. He ...
