Heroes of Dune is the tentative title[1] of a planned interquel series of novels that will take place in Frank Herbert's Dune universe, to be written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. The first book, Paul of Dune, is scheduled to be released in September 2008. [2]
According to Brian Herbert and Anderson, half of the story takes place between Dune and Dune Messiah as Paul’s Jihad rages, Shaddam seeks to regain his throne and Princess Irulan accepts the "task of building the legend of Muad'Dib." She in turn chronicles Paul's early years (between House Corrino and Dune), which feature "his friendship with Duncan and Gurney and Duke Leto's War of Assassins against Grumman." [3] [4] [5]
