“When the ghola-baby was delivered from the first Bene Gesrit axlotl tank, mother Superior Darwi Odrade ordered a quiet celebration in her private dining room atop Central.”
Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986) was an American science-fiction author, best known for his 1965 novel Dune and its five sequels. He also wrote short stories and worked as a newspaper journalist, photographer, book reviewer, ecological consultant, and lecturer. Dune is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, and the series is a classic of the science-fiction genre.
