It was all building to this wild climax not only between the Old Empire and the HM, but also between them and something else. Kralizec was one book away. The Typhoon Struggle and the fulfillment of the Golden Path. So yes, in the end, I would say read them all. Dune, Messiah, and Children are most often referred to as the best ones.
I read a lot of sci-fi books, like a lot a lot, and the difference is very substantial. Most of the big sci-fi books are pretty profound books, dealing with important stuff for us meatbags. That's what sci-fi is, for me, all about. Dune is very much a book to think about, it offers very little in terms of satisfaction.

- Dune Messiah (1969) The Second In The Series. The second novel, Dune Messiah, is the series' shortest book and was considered by many to be highly disappointing upon its release.
- Chapterhouse: Dune (1985) The Sixth And Final Book In The Series. Written just a year after the series' previous installment is Chapterhouse: Dune. The planet Rakis (formerly Arrakis) has been completely destroyed, making Chapterhouse: Dune the only book in the series to take place on an entirely different planet.
- Heretics Of Dune (1984) The Fifth In The Series. Heretics of Dune takes place 1500 years after God Emperor of Dune's heavily built-up events. Making their return are Dune's iconic sandworms, which were essentially extinct in God Emperor of Dune.
- Children Of Dune (1976) The Third In The Series. Children of Dune is perhaps the most divisive book of the series, but it builds Dune up to be the epic series that it is.

The set-up for “Dune” is a good old-fashioned power struggle. The tale is set on Arrakis, an unforgiving desert planet hostile to life. This inhospitable wasteland shouldn’t be worth the trouble it takes to survive it except that it produces spice, or melange, an addictive drug that produces heightened awareness and extends life. A commodity as val...
Duke Leto Atreides (played in the movie by Oscar Isaac):House Atreides is headed by Duke Leto, a relatively benevolent ruler who at the start of “Dune” is given control of Arrakis. He senses his assignment is a trap, but he has no way of rejecting it. Arrakis, he will soon discover, is an especially inhospitable place to men with good intentions. L...
The Fremenare a hardy people who’ve adapted to survive Arrakis' harsh desert environment. They’ve inhabited the planet for thousands of years and are essentially natives, and are regarded by the moneyed elite as savages. Much of their culture revolves around the conservation and use of water, the planet’s most precious resource. To survive the envi...
Remember the monsters from “Tremors”? They’re like that, but bigger. Much bigger. These murderous beasts are essential to the production of spice, respond to vibrations in the sand and bare fearsome crystalline teeth the Fremen fashion into weapons. Why wouldn’t you want to read a book with sandworms in it?
DUNE is a great book. There are a lot of sequels by Herbert and then his son, Brian and Kevin J. Anderson worth the read. Interestingly, THE ROAD TO DUNE is also a great read as it gives you a lot of background as to how the story/world was created, but is not a novel in itself. DUNE needs 100 pages, then it kicks off.
