Four More Frank Herbert Titles to be Published

We are pleased to announce that we have reached agreement with Tor Books to republish four of Frank Herbert's original novels in trade paperback format. These titles are some of Frank Herbert's best work and have, unfortunately, been long out of print. Soon readers will once again be able to read classics, The White Plague, The Dragon in the Sea, Whipping Star, and Hellstrom's Hive. Presented in a handsome trade paperback format, the books will be more durable and better looking than mass market paperbacks. This is in response to requests from fans for Frank Herbert titles that they can keep on their bookshelves for many years.

Two years ago Tor released regular paperback editions of four of Frank Herbert's other classics, THE GREEN BRAIN, THE EYES OF HEISENBERG, THE DOSADI EXPERIMENT, and THE SANTAROGA BARRIER. Before the publication of HOUSE ATREIDES, all of Frank Herbert's non-DUNE titles were unavailable except in used book stores. Now, with a new audience and increased attention on the author, eight of his books have been brought back into print. We hope there will be more to come.
