With Frank Herbert's vision Dune in the theaters, many may tend to forget that he had a successful writing career, producing a long list of short stories and novels beyond his six volume opus that began with Dune. We have a number of his early stories that have become available to us. We'll be releasing them one at a time over the next week or so. When you read them you may recognize threads of his major themes but we suggest you simply enjoy them.

by Frank Herbert
The Romantics used to say that the eyes were the windows of the Soul. A good Alien Xenologist might not put it quite so poetically ... but he can, if he’s sharp, read a lot in the look of an eye!

OPERATION HAYSTACK
by Frank Herbert
It's hard to ferret out a gang of fanatics; it would, obviously, be even harder to spot a genetic line of dedicated men. But the problem Orne had was one step tougher than that!

Old Rambling House
