Our next planned project is a trilogy we've called "Paul of Dune," with the titles of the three books tentatively, PAUL OF DUNE, JESSICA OF DUNE, and IRULAN OF DUNE.

This story, set between HOUSE CORRINO and DUNE -- as well as between DUNE and DUNE MESSIAH, in alternating storylines -- will tell the story of Paul's younger years, his friendship with Duncan and Gurney, and Duke Leto's War of Assassins against Grumman; and it will also fill in the story of Muad'Dib's great Jihad, Princess Irulan's task of building the legend of Muad'Dib, and Shaddam's bid for a return to power.

(...)

We may do a novel or trilogy set after BATTLE OF CORRIN dealing with the formation of the great schools, the Great Convention, etc. The fans keep writing us and asking for that story.

We may also do an art book showcasing the various planets in the Dune universe, or -- a massive job -- we could compile a new and accurate encyclopedia or chronology.

Maybe we'll consider doing a sequel to HELLSTROM'S HIVE (in my opinion, Frank Herbert's best book besides the DUNE novels).

All of these are just general ideas on the back burner, and we wouldn't get to them until many years from now. Even if we continue to write a new DUNE novel every year, the Paul of Dune trilogy won't be published until 2010.
