Who’s this for?
For anyone who likes to nerd out about Dune.
Whether you're a newcomer who just watched the latest movies or HBO series and want to know more, or a long-time fan who would love to explore the background and details of the lore, this is the place for you.
What will you find here?
Nerd stuff: deep dives, explainers and summaries.
You’ll find researched articles covering topics from the Bene Gesserit and their use of the Voice, to all the lyrics to Gurney Halleck’s songs, and what the original six books tell us about the Sardaukar.
We’ll talk canon, expanded universe, books vs. movies and a bit of head-canon.
Every week I’m either exploring an in-universe subject or trying to answer a question based on the lore.
Here’s my biggest project to date:

Who am I?
I’m Dune Navigator Martin and I've been a fan for over 25 years - enjoying the books, movies, (mini-)series and games.
I like sci-fi in general, but for some reason Dune’s lore is stuck between my brain folds like a maker hook - this newsletter is my way of sharing Dune with others who love it as much as I do.
With the Villeneuve movies, the HBO series, and now the success of Dune: Awakening, I’m excited and cautiously optimistic about Dune becoming mainstream.
