When the sixth book of the Dune saga was released in 1985, it left fans of the series waiting for the continuation - and completion - of the story with some agonizing questions.

"Hunters of Dune" is followed by the second part of the duology, titled "Sandworms of Dune," which completes the Dune saga.
