Dune by Frank Herbert

In this episode we talk about the classic science novel Dune by Frank Herbert. We discuss the story, characters and themes and we also announce the next book club selection. We put the next book to the vote and gave the listeners the choice of six books which are the Arthur C. Clarke Award shortlist. I am very pleased to announce the next book club selection and the winner received a significant number of votes more than the others.

In 6-8 weeks time we will be discussing Zoo City by Lauren Beukes from Angry Robot books. I am also delighted to announce that Lauren has agreed to come onto the show and answer any questions from listeners about Zoo City. Closer to the time we will give a specific date by which time all questions should have been received, but you can send us your comments and questions at any time.

Lauren will be in the UK in two weeks time at the Eastercon event in Birmingham and there is an Angry Robot Books group signing event, so all of those attending can pick up a signed copy.
