Eye (1985) is a collection of 13 science fictionshort stories by American writer Frank Herbert. All of the works had been previously published in magazine or book form, except for "The Road to Dune".
Herbert discusses David Lynch's film Dune and his own participation in the production, and lists scenes that were shot, but cut from the released version.
"The Dragon in the Sea" - A psychological thriller originally serialized as Under Pressure in Astounding magazine from December 1955 through February 1956. It was revised and expanded into a novel in 1956. The version in this collection is the original short version, only 36 pages long.
"The Road to Dune" - Set in Herbert's Dune universe, this short "guidebook" takes the form of a guidebook for pilgrims to the planet Arrakis, following the fall of Padishah EmperorShaddam IV. It was illustrated by Welsh artist Jim Burns. The "guidebook" discusses the major sights in the capital city, Arrakeen, including the Grand Palace and Temple of Alia. It also features images (with descriptions) of some of the devices and characters presented in the novels, including Paul's personal ornithopter, an Ixianglowglobe, Princess Irulan, Duncan Idaho, and Reverend MotherMohiam.
Dave Langford reviewed Eye for White Dwarf #83, and stated that "It's a good anthology, free of the grotty potboilers which filled out earlier collections. I would have preferred another 'real' short story or two in place of the extract from The Dragon in the Sea (which deserves to be read in context): otherwise, OK."[1]
