dune is a masterpiece. full of nuance and subtlety... it's hard to find a comparable book
-
I've always thought that _Dune Messiah_ was better. :) But one of the reasons it's hard to find a comparable book is that FH's other books were all so much worse! You'd hardly suspect they were written by the same man. With D/DM, FH truly tapped into something special.

I agree that Dune and Dune Messiah stand alone, but I do think that Under Pressure, Frank Herbert's first book, and the Santaroga Barrier are also a cut above the rest of his work.
-
Yeah, if I had to recommend one which would be least disappointing to a Dune fan, it would probably be _Under Pressure_. I sometimes wonder if the problem was he cranked them out too fast and diluted it? Dune+DM was the slowest-gestating of all of his books AFAIK, and it shows.

(Also while I have you at-ted, thanks for hosting Borlaug Camp at your offices this year. Lovely location and atmosphere.)
