Hunters is a #1 International Bestseller

Today, a month after it's release, HUNTERS OF DUNE is still at #16 on the New York Times bestseller list, and we spent three weeks in the Top Ten -- none of our DUNE novels has done that previously. Our high point in the past has been at #7 on the list, and HUNTERS shot straight up to #3.

We have also reached #1 on several bestseller lists, including the Hastings Book chain, Scifi.com, and in Canada at the Winnipeg Free Press. That makes HUNTERS a "#1 International Bestseller" -- and we couldn't have done it without so many loyal readers.

Our fan mail has also been more overwhelmingly positive than ever before. DUNE fans waited a long time to read this novel, and Brian and I are extremely pleased that you like it so much. Brian will be giving me his last draft of SANDWORMS this weekend, and so we are very close to delivering it. It's very gratifying to see your enthusiasm and support. We want to thank you all for helping us to keep the Dune universe alive and keep attracting new reader's to Frank Herbert's wonderful creation.
